Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 large spring roll wrappers
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Filling and Sweeteners:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup cinnamon sugar for coating
Caramel Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Oil for frying (vegetable oil or canola oil)
Instructions
- Create a luscious cheesecake filling by blending softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and sour cream in a large mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a velvety smooth consistency. Optional: gently incorporate mini chocolate chips for added texture.
- Position a spring roll wrapper diamond-shaped on a clean work surface. Carefully spoon 2-of the prepared cheesecake filling directly into the center of the wrapper.
- Expertly fold the bottom corner over the filling, then neatly tuck in the side edges. Roll the wrapper tightly and securely, using a small amount of water to seal the final edge, ensuring a compact and leak-proof spring roll.
- Repeat the rolling process with remaining wrappers and filling until all ingredients are utilized.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to precisely 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) using a cooking thermometer for accuracy.
- Carefully lower spring rolls into the hot oil, working in small batches to prevent overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes, rotating occasionally to achieve an evenly golden and crisp exterior.
- Remove spring rolls using a slotted spoon and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While still warm, generously roll the fried spring rolls in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, ensuring complete and even coating.
- Prepare the caramel drizzle by combining brown sugar, heavy cream, and unsalted butter in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves and the sauce thickens to a rich, glossy consistency, approximately 3-5 minutes.
- Remove caramel from heat and stir in vanilla extract for enhanced flavor. Allow to cool slightly before drizzling over the cinnamon-sugared spring rolls.
Notes
- Chill the cream cheese filling for 30 minutes before assembling to make it easier to handle and prevent leaking.
- Use room temperature spring roll wrappers to prevent cracking and ensure smooth rolling.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature at 350F to achieve crispy, golden exterior without burning.
- Seal spring roll edges completely with water to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Allow spring rolls to cool slightly before coating in cinnamon sugar for best adhesion.
- Rest caramel drizzle for 5 minutes after cooking to thicken and reach ideal pouring consistency.
