🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Prepare the Graham Cracker Crumbs: In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until they are finely ground. Alternatively, place graham crackers in a resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Make the Graham Cracker Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Prepare the Key Lime Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. This step is crucial – you don’t want any lumps! Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk and continue beating until well combined.
- Add Key Lime Juice and Zest: Stir in the key lime juice and lime zest. Mix until the filling is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or tartness as needed. Remember, key limes can vary in acidity, so a little extra juice or zest can make a big difference.
- Assemble the Spring Rolls: Lay a spring roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Place about 2 tablespoons of the key lime filling in the center of the wrapper. Top with a spoonful of the graham cracker crust mixture.
- Fold the Spring Rolls: Fold the sides of the wrapper inward, then fold the bottom edge over the filling and roll tightly to form a spring roll. Moisten the top edge with a little water to seal it completely. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep fryer or large pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature. This is important for achieving a crispy, golden crust without burning the spring rolls.
- Fry the Spring Rolls: Carefully place the spring rolls in the hot oil, a few at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. If they're getting dark too fast, lower the heat a bit.
- Drain and Cool: Remove the fried spring rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. Watch out, the filling will be very hot!
- Serve: Serve the Key Lime Pie Spring Rolls warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with lime zest or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for an extra touch of elegance. They're also great on their own! And if you want to get really decadent, try dipping them in chocolate sauce. I'm not kidding.
📝 Notes
- For best results, use fresh key lime juice. Bottled juice can sometimes have a bitter taste.
- Make sure the oil is at the right temperature before frying to avoid soggy spring rolls.
- These spring rolls are best served warm, but they can also be enjoyed cold.
