This contemporary take on a classic dessert combines my love of chinese food and cheesecake. And honestly I couldn’t think of a better combination. This is the ultimate comfort dessert! The eggroll sized portions also makes it easier to transport and share (if you have any left after trying these). I ended up making a few of the eggrolls with blueberries, instead of strawberries. Both were delicious, but I’m partial to the strawberries. The tartness of the fresh fruit balanced the sweetness of the cheesecake.
What I learned: The tricky part of this recipe is getting the eggrolls rolled tight and completely sealed. It truly is an art. I recommend having a small bowl of water nearby where you can dip your fingertips to coat any area which will fold. This disintegrates the flour on the eggroll wrapper, making it tacky and able to stick onto itself.
