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.
