Ingredients
Scale
- 8 spring roll wrappers (large)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese (softened)
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup cinnamon sugar (for coating)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsps butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- Filling Preparation: Whip cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream into a silky smooth mixture. Optionally fold in mini chocolate chips for delightful texture.
- Wrapper Assembly: Position spring roll wrapper diagonally. Deposit cheesecake filling centrally, then meticulously fold bottom corner over mixture. Carefully tuck side edges and roll tightly, sealing final edge with water to create a compact parcel.
- Oil Heating: Warm vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F, utilizing a cooking thermometer for precise temperature control.
- Frying Process: Gently submerge rolls in hot oil, working in modest batches. Rotate periodically to achieve uniform golden-brown crispness, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Draining and Coating: Transfer fried spring rolls to paper towel-lined surface to eliminate excess oil. While warm, thoroughly coat rolls in cinnamon-sugar blend for a sweet, aromatic exterior.
- Caramel Creation: In a saucepan, combine brown sugar, heavy cream, and unsalted butter. Simmer over medium heat, stirring consistently until the mixture transforms into a glossy, thickened sauce. Remove from heat, incorporate vanilla extract, and allow brief cooling.
- Final Presentation: Elegantly drizzle warm caramel over cinnamon-sugared spring rolls, creating an indulgent dessert ready to be savored.
Notes
- Optimize Filling Consistency: Blend cream cheese mixture until ultra-smooth, ensuring no lumps for a perfect creamy texture that spreads easily inside spring roll wrappers.
- Seal Technique Matters: Use water sparingly along wrapper edges to create a tight seal, preventing filling from leaking during frying and maintaining crisp exterior.
- Temperature Control Critical: Maintain oil at exactly 350°F for golden-brown spring rolls; use a cooking thermometer to prevent burning or undercooking.
- Serving Pro Tip: Drizzle warm caramel just before serving to keep spring rolls crispy and prevent soggy bottoms, maximizing texture and flavor experience.
