Ingredients
**For the Egg Rolls:**
– 8 egg roll wrappers
– 8 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Instructions
1. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and cinnamon (if using) until smooth and creamy.
2. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place 1–2 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture in the center.
3. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg.
4. Fold in the sides and tightly roll the wrapper around the filling, sealing the edges. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
5. Heat oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).

7. Remove from oil and drain on a paper towel.

Notes
– Air fryer method: Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
– Use different fillings like Nutella or fruit preserves for a fun twist.
– Best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge and reheated in an oven or air fryer.
