Deep-Fried Blintzes in Egg Roll Wrappers is more accurate, but I guess Chinese Cheesecake is flashier. Once I get raspberries, wrappers, white chocolate chips, and Bonne Maman Intense Raspberry Jam (everything else is already in my fridge), it’s a done deal! I’m serving them with White Chocolate Cream (just melt the chips and fold into unsweetened whipped cream) swirled with Raspberry Jam — on the side. I would NEVER put cold whipped cream on top of hot fried anything!
I rolled mine in cinnamon sugar and it was awesome!
Once I saw this recipe I had to try it. So I decided to make these for a dinner party. I followed the recipe exactly and the Chinese cheesecakes ended up being a big hit @ the dinner.
After making my first batch I wanted to get experimental. So I also used Beyers mixed berry ice cream topping in place of the raspberries. These came out better than the originals. I also tried using bananas in place of the raspberries and these were also amazing.
Lastly I did a take on fried peanut butter and jelly. Not using the creme cheese mixture. These were my least favorite, the peanut butter was overpowering and the jelly too sweet.
Overall I love this recipe and it’s versatility. I look forward to making these again soon. I’m thinking I may attempt a sweet potato pie version. Yum!!!
I made them with a friend and they were awesome! but my kept leaking the filling and we got a little fustrated. :/
My husband & I made these together the other night for dessert. We made half with raspberries & the other half without. I liked both. But we really enjoyed without the berries. I also tried some dunking one in strawberries with sauce that I liked better then the raspberries. To each his own. All & all they were YUMMY. We will be making these again real soon!!!!! Great easy recipe to have kids help with.
I left the berries out as well and made it for my roommates. I could only find thin egg roll wrappers so I got those and just doubled up. It turned out to be perfectly crispy! I will definitely make this again. :
Loved it! I left out the berries and next time I think I will drizzle over it. As per the previous post I will try baking as well.
Excellent recipe – everybody loved them.
Next time I make them I’m going to (to save caloriesbake them.
I’ll let you know how they turn out.

So easy and so yummy!!! Your family and friends will think you spent so much time preparing this elegant-looking dessert, but it is really easy. I really want to try some of the reader’s variations. They sound delicious.
WOW, I saw this recipe and knew I had to try it! I’ve never made egg rolls before (kinda scared of the process, I guess). I made theese for Super Bowl Sunday and they were the HIT of the party!! I went to the market, but the berries didn’t really look nice and fresh, but I knew I had bananas at home. I essentially made bananas foster for the filling. Melted butter in a skillet, added brown sugar and sliced bananas. Made the cream cheese filling as per Guy’s recipe. topped it with the bananas foster, rolled and fried. I added a bit of the glaze from the bananas to the whipped cream. It was amazing, Guy! Thanks for the incentive! My 15 year old son and I spent the rest of the day trying to figure out what else we can put in egg roll wrappers and cook up!
