Russian Cheese Piroshki - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 gallon organic whole milk (works best)
    3 tablespoons sour cream
    0.5 (14 ounce) can condensed milk
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    4 ounces whipped cream (softened @ room temp)
    4 ounces cream cheese
    1 (48 ounce) package Rhodes frozen rolls (found @ Safeway)
    2 cups oil (may vary)
Preparation
    Completely dissolve sour cream with a little bit of milk. You may use a whisk.
    Pour the gallon of milk and the dissolved sour cream into an oven safe pot.
    Cover lightly with plastic wrap and set the pot in a safe place where its not too cool.
    Very Important: Mark this day as day 1. You will cook the milk on day 3.
    On day 3: Heat oven to 325\u00b0F Remove plastic wrap.
    Bake in the same pot for 3 hours.
    Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes.
    Drain completely in cheese clothe. Squeeze water out if you have to.
    At this point you may refrigerate this cheese in a sealed container for latter use.
    Preheat oven for 200F for 5-10 minutes and than turn off.
    Meanwhile place frozen rolls on a cookie sheet and cover with plastic wrap.
    Place in the warm oven. (If the oven is too hot, leave the door open for no more than 5 minutes).
    This is the quick defrosting process. Let the dough rise for about 2 hours.
    Microwave cream cheese for 45 seconds to soften.
    With a large spoon, mix together your prepared cheese, condensed milk, whipped cream, cream cheese, and vanilla.
    Take your biscuits out of the oven.
    Note: Do not uncover all of them at once or they will dry out!
    Very lightly flour your palms and fingers. Flatten a roll in your palms.
    Fill with a heaping Tbsp of filling and press shut around the edges using your fingers.
    Heat oil in a deep skillet on medium heat. The oil should rise about 1/4 to 1/2 inch.
    Fry several of the piroshki on both sides.
    Cover between flippings.
    They cook about 2 minutes or less, but be careful not to burn them.
    You will need to watch the skillet the entire time now and may not leave.
    Place Piroshki in a strainer or on napkins to collect excess oil.
    They keep well in fridge for several days, But I assure you they will get eaten before then.
