Instructions
Cheesecake Filling:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F 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 the springform pan and bake for 30 minutes.
-
Cool completely.
Strawberry Glaze:
-
In a medium pot add 1½ 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 for about 4 to 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
-
Remove from heat, then whisk in food coloring.
-
Let cool completely before adding in the strawberry slices.
Fried Cheesecake:
-
Add a 1×3-inch long piece of cheesecake (try to keep the cheesecake intact if possible) to the center of the flour tortillas, then fold the edges in and roll like a burrito.
-
Secure with toothpicks. Alternatively, freeze before frying and 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 F.
-
Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
-
Carefully put the cheesecake egg rolls into the hot oil (3 to 4 per frying batch) and fry for about 3 to 4 minutes until golden brown.

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, strawberry topping and whipped cream if desired.
