Deep Fried Cheesecake

By JimMac

Ingredients

• 1 white cheesecake, chilled and cut into slices
• 1 pkg spring roll or lumpia wrappers
• pieces of chopped chocolate
• water for sealing wrappers
• oil for deep frying
• chocolate syrup and whipped cream

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in deep-fryer to 365 degrees F.

Lightly moisten each spring roll/lumpia wrapper with the egg wash. Blot off excess egg wash with paper towels. Place each piece of cheesecake in the middle of a wrapper. Sprinkle with the chopped chocolate. Fold top of wrapper down over the cheesecake, and both sides toward the middle. Roll each piece of cheesecake toward you until it is completely rolled up. Make sure the egg roll is tightly packed with its edges sealed.

Gently release rolls into the oil and cook until golden brown, roughly 2 minutes. Using tongs remove the golden-brown "cake rolls" from the oil. Place each roll in a bowl of powdered sugar and coat well. Place deep-fried rolls of cheesecake on paper towels to cool slightly before serving.

Drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with whipped cream.
