Description
Cheesecake Egg Rolls are a fun, innovative twist on traditional cheesecake, wrapped in a crispy egg roll wrapper and fried to golden perfection. These bite-sized treats combine the rich, creamy filling of cheesecake with the crunch of an egg roll, making them perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
1 package of egg roll wrappers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
- Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto the center of the wrapper.
- Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll it up tightly to form an egg roll shape. Seal the edges with a little water to ensure they stay closed during frying.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the egg rolls in the skillet, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry each egg roll for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Once they have cooled slightly, dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
Notes
- This recipe makes about 8-10 cheesecake egg rolls, depending on how much filling you use in each roll.
- You can store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- If you want to bake the egg rolls instead of frying them, bake at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Try various fillings or toppings, such as Nutella, berries, or chocolate sauce, to customize the recipe to your liking.
