Strawberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls with Lemon Drizzle

Please welcome back Rachael from Eazy Peazy Meals as she shares this tasty recipe!

How do you feel about summer? How do you feel about cheesecake? I am obsessed with all things lemon, in fact I made this crazy awesome Lemon Crepe Cake recently that took my breath away it was sooooo good. And cheesecake, well let’s just say that I think it is the epitome of perfection when it comes to desserts. I love it! But it is so time consuming. Hence the cheesecake egg roll! It has all of my favorite things, in a quick and easy to make form. These cheesecake egg rolls are stuffed with fresh strawberries and a lemon cheesecake filling, making them taste like summer, and they come together in minutes. And the lemon drizzle on top has stolen my heart.

One of the things I absolutely love about these strawberry cheesecake egg rolls is that they requires so few ingredients, and whip up so fast. I love all things Eazy Peazy, like this awesome Raspberry 7 UP punch, which has been very popular on my site lately. And like the punch, these egg rolls require very little to taste gourmet. Like seriously, restaurant quality here. One of those ingredients are the egg roll wrappers. You can use any kind you want. I buy Nasoya egg roll wrappers, you can find them in most grocery stores near the fresh produce. Usually in the same section you would buy fresh herbs in. I use them for everything and almost always have some on hand, so I was pretty excited to use them in a dessert recipe, as I usually make things like Shrimp and Veggie Egg Rolls.

When filling an egg roll wrapper you set it on a diagonal. Then put the filling in the center, as you can see here. That way you can wet the edges, and then just grab the bottom corner, and tuck it under the filling, and fold in the sides and roll. You want your roll to be wrapped up nice and tight so no ingredients spill out while you are cooking.

Now you can enjoy!

Ingredients

3. Preheat 2 inches of oil in a large heavy pot to 375°F.
4. Lay an egg roll wrapper down, and put a heaping spoonful (about 1 to 2 tablespoons) of cheesecake mixture in center at a diagonal. Put a handful of strawberries on top. Using a wet finger, wet the edges of the egg roll wrapper and roll by folding over, tucking ends in, and rolling.
