Combine the heavy cream, sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Bring to a boil while whisking, then reduce the heat to medium and maintain a steady boil for about 8 minutes, until the mixture reduces to approximately 2 cups. Remove from the heat and strain out the lemon zest if desired. Add the lemon juice and whisk well. Pour into small ramekins or dessert glasses.

These crispy, golden Middle Eastern appetizers feature a deliciously stretchy mozzarella cheese filling wrapped in thin, crunchy spring roll pastry. Discover the stovetop cheese-filling technique that creates a creamy, gooey center. Learn how to roll and seal the wrappers to help prevent the cheese from leaking. Follow the freezing and frying tips for beautifully golden, crispy cheese rolls. Serve these homemade Lebanese appetizers as part of a mezze spread, party snack, or family gathering. Watch the full recipe for step-by-step instructions and helpful cooking tips! 🥟 GET THE FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE https://hadiaslebanesecuisine.com/blog/cheese-rolls-rkakat-jibneh/ INGREDIENTS For the cheese filling: 400 grams mozzarella cheese 3 tablespoons sunflower oil 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk Salt to taste For the sealing slurry: 1/3 cup all-purpose flour 1/3 cup water 1 package of spring roll wrappers HOW TO MAKE LEBANESE CHEESE ROLLS Prepare the slurry by whisking the flour and water together until smooth. Thaw the spring roll wrappers in the refrigerator overnight so they separate easily. Heat the sunflower oil in a saucepan. Add the flour and whisk for about 30 seconds. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Add the mozzarella cheese and stir until melted and incorporated into a smooth, stretchy filling. Season with salt to taste, then allow the filling to cool completely. Place a spring roll wrapper on a flat surface. Seal the edges with the flour slurry, add the cheese filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly. Freeze the assembled cheese rolls for about 40 minutes before frying to help prevent the filling from leaking. Heat the frying oil to approximately 350°F (177°C). Fry the rolls in small batches until golden and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan, then drain and serve warm. TIPS FOR CRISPY, GOOEY CHEESE ROLLS • Use good-quality mozzarella or another suitable stretchy cheese. • Seal the wrapper edges carefully to help keep the filling inside. • Freeze the rolls before cooking to help prevent cheese leakage. • Maintain an oil temperature of approximately 350°F (177°C). • Air frying is another option, although deep-frying produces the crispiest texture.
