Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 4 oz reduced-fat cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup fat-free Greek yogurt
• 2 tbsp sugar substitute (e.g., Stevia or Monk Fruit)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Wrapper:

• 8 egg roll wrappers (found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores)
• 1 egg, whisked (for sealing the wrappers)

For Cooking:

• Non-stick cooking spray
• 1 tsp powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth.
2. Mix in the Greek yogurt, sugar substitute, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside.

2. Assemble the Cheesecake Rolls

1. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling into the center of the wrapper.
2. Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then roll it up tightly like a burrito. Use the whisked egg to seal the edges. Repeat for all wrappers.

3. Cook the Rolls

Air Fryer Method:

1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly spray the rolls with non-stick cooking spray and arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
3. Cook for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Oven Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and lightly spray them with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

4. Serve

1. Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
2. Dust with a sprinkle of powdered sugar and drizzle with sugar-free caramel or chocolate syrup, if desired.
