I’ve become addicted to shopping for food online. I admit it. I have a problem.
But it’s a good thing I promise:)
Especially when it’s flu season, and my family was sick. We all had colds, and my loving and always right mother in law, said that I should order online from VONS (Safeway) home delivery. And I guess I’ve been living under a rock, because I never knew they had this!
And I think it is totally awesome! And I mean that in the most valley girl voice!
I love shopping this way. Not only because it is abnormally convenient, but I only get the things I need. And that saves me some serious money.
Usually when I go to the store, I end up getting things that I don’t really need, and I end up spending so much more money than I originally intended. But with this method, I make my list, and just order what I need. And if I forget something, I have until 3 am to add that item!
The other day I shopped online. Then a little while later my son said that he needed batteries, and asked if we can go buy some in the morning. I just went back online and updated my order to include batteries and crisis was averted!
And that’s where this recipe comes in. I only needed bananas. My husband bought some egg roll wrappers the week before with no idea of what he wanted to make, so I thought about cheesecake. But seriously you can fry almost anything in an egg roll wrapper and it would be delicious!
And I know this because I have fried almost everything I can think of. Just look at my Instagram if you don’t believe me. I fried thanksgiving leftovers! – Yup!
But this time I really wanted cheesecake, and it came out better than I imagined.
The banana slices just kind of melted into the cheesecake filling. And with the addition of the Nutella dipping sauce, this dessert should be on a restaurant menu somewhere.
I think this may be the best dessert I have ever made. So now you have to try it so here you go! You can thank me later:)
8 egg roll wrappers
1 block cream cheese
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 bananas
Oil for frying
1/3 cup powdered sugar for dusting
1/3 cup Nutella
2 tablespoons heavy cream
In the bowl of an electric mixer add cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla. Mix for a few minutes, or until smooth and combined. Place two tablespoons of cheesecake filling, and about four thin slices of banana, in the center of eggroll wrapper, and fold as you would an envelope. Start by bringing the bottom end of wrapper up the center over filling. With a bit of water, wet the two side corners, and bring them into center, one overlapping the other. Roll toward the top and fasten with a bit of water to secure egg roll. Fry Egg rolls in 2-3 inches of oil, in a large frying pan. Temperature of oil should be at 350 degrees. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides. About 2-3 minutes per side. While Egg rolls are frying, combine Nutella and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir well to combine to a smooth consistency. Set aside. Drain egg rolls from oil on paper towels. Allow to cool, then dust with a bit of powdered sugar.
Serve with a side of Nutella dipping sauce, and indulge like crazy!
