Canola oil, for frying

8 tablespoons cream cheese

3 tablespoons ricotta cheese

2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar (1 1/2 for mix, 1 tablespoon for garnish)

1 egg

3 tablespoons milk

10 thick egg roll skins

1 cup raspberries, fresh preferred

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Deep-Fried Blintzes in Egg Roll Wrappers is more accurate, but I guess Chinese Cheesecake is flashier. Once I get raspberries, wrappers, white chocolate chips, and Bonne Maman Intense Raspberry Jam (everything else is already in my fridge), it’s a done deal! I’m serving them with White Chocolate Cream (just melt the chips and fold into unsweetened whipped cream) swirled with Raspberry Jam — on the side. I would NEVER put cold whipped cream on top of hot fried anything!
