Instructions
Creating fried cheesecake is easy if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix until smooth and creamy.
2. Spoon the Filling: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling in the center of the wrapper.
3. Wrap the Cheesecake: Fold the bottom corner of the egg roll wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper up tightly to encase the filling. Seal the edge with a bit of water to keep it closed.
4. Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and cheesecake filling.
5. Heat the Oil: In a deep pan or fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
6. Fry the Cheesecakes: Carefully drop the wrapped cheesecakes into the hot oil, a few at a time. Fry for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
7. Drain: Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried cheesecakes and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled slightly, dust the fried cheesecakes with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
9. Optional: Drizzle: If desired, drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.
