Instructions
Cheesecake Filling:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a springform pan with baking spray.
- Whisk together the cream cheese, sugar, eggs, sour cream, flour, vanilla and lemon juice until smooth and completely combined.
- Add the mixture to your springform pan and bake for 30 minutes.
- Cool completely.
Strawberry Glaze:
- In a medium pot add 1 1/2 cups of the water, sugar and gelatin and whisk well until combined, then bring to a boil on medium heat.
- Whisk the remaining water with the cornstarch and pour it slowly into the pot while whisking.
- Whisk constantly until you see the sauce thickening (about 4-5 minutes).
- Remove from heat, whisk in food coloring.
- Let cool completely before adding in the strawberry slices.
Fried Cheesecake:
- Add a 1" wide by 3" long piece of cheesecake (try to keep the cheesecake intact if possible) to the center of your flour tortillas then fold the edges in and roll like a burrito.
- Secure with toothpicks (or if you have time to freeze before frying you can brush egg on the seams and freeze seam side down to seal the tortilla closed).
- When ready to fry heat 3 inches of oil to 350 degrees.
- Mix your sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Carefully put the cheesecake egg rolls into the hot oil (3-4 per frying batch) and fry until golden brown (about 3-4 minutes).
- When the cheesecake comes out of the fryer immediately roll it into the cinnamon sugar mixture then let it cool on a cooling rack.
- Serve drizzled with caramel sauce and strawberry topping and whipped cream if desired.
