Description
A delicious and crispy dessert featuring cheesecake filling wrapped in egg rolls, fried to perfection and served with caramel sauce.
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar, for dusting
- Optional: cinnamon for extra flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling:
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Rolls:
Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling near the center of the wrapper, spreading it slightly. Drizzle a small amount of caramel sauce over the cream cheese filling. Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a cylinder. Use a little water to seal the edge. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Rolls:
Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the rolls in batches, frying until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Dust and Serve:
Sprinkle the rolls with powdered sugar and a touch of cinnamon if desired. Serve warm with extra caramel sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to mix smoothly.
- Seal the egg roll wrappers well to prevent any filling leakage during frying.
- Adjust the sweetness by altering the sugar in the filling according to your taste preference.
- For a healthier alternative, consider baking the rolls at 400°F (205°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden and crisp.
