Tips for Perfect Fried Cheesecake
Don’t overfill the wrappers
Too much filling can cause them to burst while frying.
Seal tightly
Use the egg wash along the edges so they stay closed.
Keep the oil at 350°F
If the oil is too cool, the wrappers will absorb oil and become greasy.
Serve immediately
They’re best when the outside is crispy and the filling is warm.

Caramel Apple Cheesecake
