Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream until smooth and creamy.
Fold in mini chocolate chips if using.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

Lay an egg roll wrapper flat, positioned like a diamond.
Place 2–3 tablespoons of filling in the center.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly and seal the edge with water. Repeat for all wrappers.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:

Heat oil in a skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Fry egg rolls in small batches, turning occasionally, for 2–3 minutes until golden brown.
Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar:

While still warm, roll the egg rolls in cinnamon sugar until fully coated.

5. Prepare the Caramel Sauce:

In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter.
Heat over medium, stirring until sugar dissolves and mixture thickens (3–5 minutes).
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

Serve warm egg rolls with caramel sauce for dipping.

Notes

For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes instead of frying.
Use gluten-free wrappers and dairy-free cream cheese for dietary restrictions.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
