Description

Deliciously crispy Cheesecake Egg Rolls filled with a creamy, sweet cheesecake mixture, fried to golden perfection, and dusted with cinnamon sugar. Served with your choice of caramel, chocolate, chopped strawberries, or powdered sugar for an irresistible dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 3 ½ tablespoons sugar
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Egg Rolls

  • Egg roll wrappers
  • Water for brushing wrappers

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon

For Frying

  • Oil for frying (enough for 2 inches deep in pot)

For Serving (Optional)

  • Caramel sauce
  • Chocolate sauce
  • Chopped strawberries
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat the Oil: Preheat about 2 inches of oil in a large stockpot over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). This ensures the egg rolls fry evenly and become crispy.
  2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until smooth and creamy.
  3. Wrap the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling onto the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in both side corners toward the middle like an envelope. Moisten the top corner with water and roll tightly to seal. Place the prepared egg rolls on a plate. Repeat until all filling and wrappers are used.
  4. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons cinnamon. Set this aside for coating the fried egg rolls.
  5. Fry the Egg Rolls: Once the oil is hot, carefully add 4 egg rolls at a time to the pot. Fry for about 2 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning them as necessary for even cooking. Remove the cooked egg rolls and drain on paper towels. Continue frying the remaining egg rolls in batches.
  6. Coat with Cinnamon Sugar: While still warm, roll each fried egg roll in the prepared cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
  7. Serve: Serve the crispy cheesecake egg rolls warm with your choice of toppings such as caramel sauce, chocolate sauce, chopped strawberries, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a delightful dessert experience.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Do not overfill the egg rolls to avoid breaking during frying.
  • Use a candy or deep-fry thermometer to maintain the oil temperature at 375°F for best results.
  • Drain the egg rolls on paper towels after frying to remove excess oil.
  • Serve immediately after coating with cinnamon sugar to keep them crispy.
