Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream.
- Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Optionally, fold in mini chocolate chips to add bursts of chocolate flavor.
Step 2: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, positioning it like a diamond (corner pointing toward you).
- Place 2–3 tablespoons of cheesecake filling in the center.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
- Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a dab of water.
- Repeat with all wrappers and filling.
Step 3: Fry the Egg Rolls
- Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan to about 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in small batches, flipping occasionally for even browning, about 2–3 minutes.
- Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 4: Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
- While still warm, roll the egg rolls in a cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
Step 5: Prepare the Caramel Sauce
- Combine brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens (3–5 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Serve the egg rolls warm with the caramel sauce on the side for dipping. Pure dessert bliss!
