Ingredients

2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
7 tablespoons butter, melted
3 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
1 (4-ounce) bar white chocolate, melted and cooled slightly
30 Oriental spring roll wrappers
Egg wash (whisk 1 egg with 1 cup milk)
1 (4-ounce) bar semisweet chocolate, chopped
Vegetable oil, as needed
Powdered sugar, as needed
8 ounces chocolate sauce, in squirt bottle
Whipped cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Cheesecake:

In a medium bowl, combine cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press firmly on bottom and 1-inch up sides of a 9-inch spring form pan. Bake 8 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in melted chocolate.

Carefully pour batter into the prepared crust. Bake 45 minutes.

Let cool completely on wire rack. Chill 8 hours before serving to set.

Cut the cheesecake into approximately 3 by 1-inch uniform pieces.

Deep-Fried Cheesecake Rolls:

Heat oil n deep-fryer to 365 degrees F.

Lightly moisten each spring roll 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 "egg rolls" into the oil and cook until golden brown, roughly 2 minutes. Using tongs remove the golden-brown "egg rolls" from the oil. Place each "egg 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.

BEYOND AWESOME!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

SHARON and KATIE who said America was going to eat this everyday. For those of us who plan our diets well and enjoy a little... something rewarding every now and then we are entitled. Too sad you know nothing about enjoying life occasionally. This is a truly awesome dessert. I drizzled mine with Carmel sauce and it was truly wonderful. Thanks Paula for another wonderful recipe.

Heart Attack on a Plate!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I agree with a previous review. This is extremely unhealthy. ONE serving is enough to blow anyone's maximum fat gram intake... FOR THE ENTIRE DAY. No wonder America is the fattest nation on the planet! Read more
