Raspberry Cheesecake Eggrolls Recipe 55

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the crust, combine the graham crackers, sugar, and melted butter until moistened. Pour into a 9-inch springform pan. With your hands, press the crumbs into the bottom of the pan and about 1-inch up the sides. Bake for 8 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
• To make the filling, cream the cream cheese and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium and add the eggs and egg yolks, 2 at a time, mixing well. Scrape down the bowl and beater, as necessary. With the mixer on low, add the sour cream, lemon zest, and vanilla. Mix thoroughly and pour into the cooled crust.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Turn the oven temperature down to 225 degrees F and bake for another 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn the oven off and open the door wide. The cake will not be completely set in the center. Allow the cake to sit in the oven with the door open for 30 minutes. Take the cake out of the oven and allow it to sit at room temperature for another 2 to 3 hours, until completely cooled. Wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the cake from the springform pan by carefully running a hot knife around the outside of the cake. Leave the cake on the bottom of the springform pan for serving.
• To make the topping, melt the jelly in a small pan over low heat. In a bowl, toss the raspberries and the warm jelly gently until well mixed. Arrange the berries on top of the cake. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Note: Measure your springform pan. The bottom of mine measures 9 inches, but it says 9 1/2. I put the springform pan on a sheet pan before putting it in the oven to catch any leaks.

Steps:

• Mix cream cheese and sugar in a bowl until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract. Thin filling with a little milk if it appears too thick; it should be the consistency of jelly.
• Lay out 1 egg roll on a flat work surface. Add about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling down the middle. Sprinkle a few chocolate chips on top. Brush edges of the wrapper with water. Fold in sides and roll up, pressing in edges to seal. Place seam side-down on a plate. Repeat with remaining wrappers, filling, and chocolate chips.
• Heat oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Fry egg rolls in batches until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Use a medium sized sauce pan to heat oil to 365°F. If you have a candy thermometer, that is best, but not necessary. Preheat for at least 10 minutes on medium heat. Whenever you are deep frying, remember to use extreme caution as the oil is very hot. In a separate bowl, beat egg with a fork and set aside. In your mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sour cream for a couple minutes until cream cheese is smooth. You may need to scrape down the bowl. Add sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest. Beat to incorporate. Scrape down sides of the bowl. Fold berries in cream cheese mixture. Spoon filling into the middle of the wrapper and spread out into a log shape Fold the two sides in towards the middle creating a triangle. Brush egg wash along the top and bottom edges. Fold the bottom part of the triangle over the middle and tuck it into the filling. Roll upwards until the other end is wrapped around the filling. Seal with additional egg wash. Fry in pre-heated oil for 30-60 seconds per side until light brown. Remove with tongs and set egg rolls on paper towels to cool. Combine sugar and cinnamon on a paper plate, roll deep fried egg rolls in cinnamon and sugar mix. To prepare the chocolate sauce, combine chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 45-60 seconds. Stir until mixture is smooth. Spoon chocolate sauce onto egg rolls. For the whipped cream, combine heavy cream and powdered sugar. Beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap exterior of a 9-inch springform pan (including base) in a double layer of foil; set aside.
• Stir together cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a medium bowl. Press crumb mixture firmly onto bottom of pan. Bake until set, about 10 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.
• Process raspberries in a food processor until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pass puree through a fine sieve into a small bowl; discard solids. Whisk in 2 tablespoons sugar, and set aside.
• Put cream cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar in a slow, steady stream. Add salt and vanilla; mix until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing each until just combined (do not overmix). Pour cream cheese filling over crust.
• Drop raspberry sauce by the teaspoon on top. With a wooden skewer or toothpick, swirl sauce into filling.
• Set cake pan inside a large, shallow roasting pan. Transfer to oven. Carefully ladle boiling water into roasting pan to reach halfway up sides of cake pan. Bake until cake is set but still slightly wobbly in center, 60 to 65 minutes.
• Transfer cake pan to rack; let cake cool completely. Refrigerate, uncovered, 6 hours or overnight. Before unmolding, run a knife around edge of cake.
