When the cheesecake craving hits, there’s not much else that really satisfies. That being said, I rarely have the time (or energy) to whip up a classic cheesecake when I want it. The solution? Easy dessert shortcuts that deliver that same rich, creamy flavor, but are a breeze to create. Cheesecake bars are always a great option, but when I’m looking for a party dessert that no one will expect, I turn to these cheesecake-filled egg rolls. Ready in 30 minutes, this handheld treat comes together with only 5 ingredients (not counting salt and frying oil), making it an ideal last-minute option. However, I highly recommend not skipping the homemade, 3-ingredient strawberry sauce I include here–it’s the perfect sweet pairing.
