Ingredients
Cheesecake:

Directions
In a medium bowl, using a wooden spoon, combine
cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup sugar, and melted butter. Press the mixture firmly on
bottom, and 1-inch up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 8 minutes
until crumbs become slightly golden in color. Using an electric mixer, in a large
bowl, combine cream cheese and sugar and blend until fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a
time and continue to beat until mixture becomes light, about 3 minutes. Stir in
melted chocolate using a rubber spatula. Carefully pour batter into the prepared
crust and bake for 45 minutes. Let cool completely on wire rack. Chill for 8 hours
before serving. Cut the cheesecake into uniform pieces approximately 3 by 1-inch
in size. Do this 30 times.

Ingredients
Deep-Fried Cheesecake Rolls:

Directions
Heat vegetable oil in a deep-fryer to 365 degrees
F.

Whisk 1 egg with 1 cup milk to make an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, lightly
moisten each spring roll wrapper with the egg wash. Blot off excess egg wash with
paper towel. Place each piece of cheesecake in the middle of a wrapper and
sprinkle with the chopped chocolate. Fold top of wrapper down over the cheesecake,
and both sides toward the center. Roll each piece of cheesecake toward you until
it is completely rolled up making sure the roll is tightly packed with its edges

sealed. Place powdered sugar in a medium bowl. Gently place rolls into the oil and
cook until golden brown, for about 2 minutes. Using tongs or a spider, remove the
golden-brown rolls from the oil and place each roll in a bowl of powdered sugar
and coat well. Place deep-fried rolls on paper towels to cool slightly before
serving.
Drizzle with chocolate sauce, top with whipped cream, and garnish with a mint
leaf.
