Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cream cheese brick (8 oz), softened
- 8 tsp sweetened condensed milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 tsp lemon juice
- 2 cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip)
Egg Rolls
- 6 – 8 egg roll wrappers (depending on filling amount)
- 1 1/2 – 2 bananas
- 6 – 8 teaspoons Nutella spread
- Canola oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for topping)
- Whipped topping (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Using a stand mixer or electric hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add Sweetened Condensed Milk: Slowly incorporate the sweetened condensed milk into the cream cheese, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl for an even mix.
- Mix in Vanilla Extract: Add the vanilla extract into the mixture and blend thoroughly until fully combined.
- Incorporate Lemon Juice: Pour in the lemon juice and mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the acidity in the filling.
- Fold in Whipped Topping: Gently mix in 2 cups of whipped topping just until combined, being careful not to over-mix; set the cheesecake filling aside.
- Heat Oil for Frying: In a frying pan, heat canola oil over medium heat to about 1-2 inches depth; the oil should be hot enough for frying but not smoking.
- Prep Bananas: Cut each banana into four equal pieces, ready to be wrapped.
- Assemble Egg Rolls: Place one banana piece on an egg roll wrapper, spoon about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake filling on top, then add 1 teaspoon of Nutella over the filling.
- Wrap Egg Rolls: Fold and roll the wrappers tightly around the filling as per the package instructions to secure the contents.
- Fry Egg Rolls: Carefully place each egg roll into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
- Drain Excess Oil: Remove egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels for a few minutes to absorb any excess grease and cool slightly.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Dust with powdered sugar, add extra whipped topping or drizzle with Nutella as desired. Serve warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother filling.
- Adjust oil temperature to maintain frying around medium heat to prevent burning the wrappers before the filling warms through.
- Keep an eye on frying time; typically, 2-3 minutes per side is sufficient depending on thickness and heat.
- Feel free to substitute whipped topping with fresh whipped cream if preferred.
- For a less sweet option, reduce the amount of Nutella and sweetened condensed milk slightly.
- Use fresh bananas for best texture; overly ripe bananas may become mushy during frying.
