Steemit Sandwich Contest Week#29 (Theme: Chinese Wrapper) - First Entry: Blueberry Cheese Cake Wraps w Homemade Strawberry Dipping Sauce

Our household just ran out of bread and our next weekly groceries delivery is not happening until Wednesday. But, it is not unusual that I make my weekly sandwiches for SSC without any bread. I just need to improvise and come up with something from nothing, ha!

Since I have huge cravings for Chinese food throughout this pregnancy, it gave me the idea to make some sort of Chinese wrapper for this week's sandwiches - somewhat like dumpling or egg roll wrappers. This type of wrappers require minimum ingredients - flour, warm water, salt (Yes, you heard me right, warm water which make this dough different from crepes). Therefore, it works for me!

When you think of Chinese wrapper, it’s mostly associated with savoury type of dishes. But, I wanted to make a dessert breakfast type of sandwich just to be different. Also, I always have frozen and fresh berries laying around and this is how I came up with this Blueberry Cheesecake Wraps with Homemade Strawberry Dipping Sauce.

Here are the ingredients for the fillings and dipping sauce:

• cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, fresh blueberries, frozen strawberries, water

Here are the steps to put this sandwich wrap together:

• mix flour with warm water and egg, form into a dough and let it sit for an hour
• roll out the dough and using a mold to cut out the shape you want (I used a square plate and sharp knife to cut some square ones and a round mold to make some circular ones)
• mix cream cheese, sour cream, sugar with fresh blueberries as the fillings
• place the fillings on top of the wrap, seal with water and fry for 3 minutes each side until golden
• mix frozen strawberries with sugar and water, boil on strovetop for 15 minutes
• dust the fried cheesecake wraps with powder sugar and serve

I was asked why I worked so hard to make everything from scratch. I have to say although it does look like I spent too much time in the kitchen, I started with a plan and broke it down into multiple steps which allowed me to take many breaks in between.

So, I was not exhausted in the kitchen or anything, and I also have a chair in the kitchen to sit. Plus, to me, the outcome is worth all the effort, I must say!

Hope you enjoyed this creation.
