Ingredients
Scale
For the egg rolls:
- 8 large egg roll wrappers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- ½ cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
- Oil for frying (vegetable oil or canola oil)
For the caramel sauce:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy. Optionally, fold in mini chocolate chips for added flavor.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you (like a diamond shape). Place 2–3 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling in the center. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly, sealing the edge with a little water. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil in a deep pan or skillet to 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip occasionally for even cooking. Drain on paper towels.
- Coat the Egg Rolls: While still warm, roll the fried egg rolls in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated.
- Prepare the Caramel Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, and butter over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens (about 3–5 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Serve: Serve the warm, crispy cheesecake egg rolls with the homemade caramel sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier filling. For a lighter option, bake the egg rolls at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes instead of frying. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
