Ingredients:
- 1 already-baked cheesecake
- 30 spring roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten
- Oil for deep frying
- Cinnamon sugar (made by mixing 2 cups of sugar with 4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon)
Instructions:
-
Prepare Cheesecake Slices:
- Cut the already-baked cheesecake into uniform pieces, approximately 1-by-3 inches in size.
- One large cheesecake will yield about 30 slices for deep frying.
-
Wrap Cheesecake Slices:
- Lightly moisten each spring roll wrapper with the beaten egg wash.
- Blot off excess egg wash with a paper towel.
- Place each piece of cheesecake in the middle of a wrapper.
- Fold the top of the wrapper down over the cheesecake, and both sides toward the middle.
- Roll each piece of cheesecake toward you until it is completely rolled up.
- Give each “egg roll” a gentle squeeze to ensure the dough is sealed completely.
-
Deep Fry:
- In a deep frying pan, heat at least 3 inches of oil to 365°F.
- Dip the corner of one “egg roll” in the heated oil. If the oil sizzles, it is ready. If not, heat the oil a little longer.
- Once the oil is ready, gently release the “egg rolls” into the oil and allow to brown lightly, approximately 10 seconds.
- Using tongs, remove the golden-brown “egg rolls” from the oil.
-
Coat with Cinnamon Sugar:
- Place each “egg roll” in a bowl of cinnamon sugar and coat well.
-
Serve:
- Place the deep-fried slices of cheesecake on paper towels to cool slightly before serving. (A rack can also be used).
- Caution: These will be very hot.
- Allow to cool at least 5 minutes before serving.
- They can be enjoyed warm or cold.
This delightful dessert offers a perfect combination of creamy cheesecake and crispy indulgence, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. Serve these deep-fried cheesecake treats as a sweet finale to your meal, and watch them disappear in no time!
