Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
Coating
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
Other Ingredients
- 1 package of egg roll wrappers (about 10 wrappers)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue mixing until the filling becomes light and fluffy. Set aside.
- Assemble the Bites: Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a flat surface. Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the corners over the filling and roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the edges with a bit of water.
- Fry the Bites: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil reaches about 350°F, carefully place the wrapped cheesecake bites into the oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Coat the Bites: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Once the bites are fried and drained on paper towels, immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the bites cool slightly before serving. These crispy, creamy, and sweet bites make a perfect fun dessert treat!
Notes
- Be sure to seal the egg roll wrappers tightly to prevent filling leakage during frying.
- Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature for even frying and to avoid soggy bites.
- These bites are best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness.
- Can be served with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
- Leftovers should be refrigerated and gently reheated in an air fryer or oven to restore crispiness.
