This Banana Fried Cheesecake recipe will become one of your all time favorite desserts! They are fried golden brown to perfection and drizzled with honey.
Unroll the phyllo dough (all of it in a pile) onto a work surface. In the lower center of phyllo dough, place a heaping tablespoon of the cheesecake mix, then a slice of banana set upright, repeat the process 2 more times ending with a banana so there are three dollops of cheesecake and 3 banana slices.
Roll 3 sheets of phyllo dough around the cheesecake and banana filling. After rolling once, fold in edges, like an egg roll. Fold in edges and then continue to roll all the way up. Seal edges by brushing with melted butter. Repeat to make 4 egg rolls approximately 1 1/2-2 inches thick (a little larger than the banana slice) and 4-5 inches long.
Place the cheesecake egg rolls in a shallow, wide airtight plastic container seperated with parchment paper or wax paper. Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, but up to a month.
Twenty minutes before serving, heat the vegetable oil in large saucepan with high sides. Heat oil to 325°F.
Carefully place 2 frozen rolls into the oil using metal tongs or a spider spoon. Only do two at a time to not "crowd the pan". Gently turn in the oil until all sides are a golden brown, approximately 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel lined plate or wire rack to drain. Repeat with the remaining frozen rolls.
To plate, slice the roll in half with a quick chop and a sharp knife. Drizzle them with honey and top with whipped cream, vanilla bean ice cream and fresh berries.
