Ingredients
Method
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.
