Ingredients
Scale
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
12 egg roll wrappers
Vegetable oil, for frying
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Chocolate or caramel sauce, for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Shape the mixture into small balls and roll each ball in graham cracker crumbs.
Place each cheesecake ball in the center of an egg roll wrapper.
Fold and roll the wrapper around the filling, sealing the edges with a little water.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the wrapped cheesecake bites in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain on paper towels and dust with powdered sugar.
Serve warm with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
Ensure the oil temperature remains consistent for even frying.
Do not overcrowd the fryer to prevent the bites from sticking together.
Freeze the cheesecake mixture for 15 minutes before wrapping for easier handling.
