How to Make Cheesecake Factory Avocado Egg Rolls?

Making the Tamarind-Cashew Sauce

• Add cashews, garlic, coriander, tamarind, honey, simple syrup, oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper into a food processor.
• Pulse until the cashews are finely chopped and the mixture is smooth.
• Directions for Thermomix
  • Add all ingredients to the Thermomix bowl.
  • Set to 30 seconds on speed 5 or 6 (adjust as per the needed consistency).

Preparing the Avocado Filling

• In a bowl, add avocado flesh, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
• Mix gently to ensure even distribution of the seasoning.

Assembling the Egg Rolls

• If you are using thin Australian spring roll wrappers, double up and use 2 wrappers per roll.
• Place two tablespoons of the avocado mixture in a heap at the bottom corner of the wrapper.
• Roll up the bottom of the wrapper into a burrito. Tuck in the sides as you roll up to form a big log.
• Seal the edges with a little water on the inner side and make sure to press down the outer seal firmly.
• Repeat the same process to make the remaining avocado rolls.

Cooking

• Heat oil to 180 degrees Celsius in a cast iron pot or deep fryer.
• Carefully place 2 or 3 rolls into the hot oil and cook for 3-4 minutes (until golden brown).
• Remove the egg rolls and place them on a plate lined with double paper towels to drain excess oil.
• Cut the rolls in half diagonally.

Tips for Perfect Cheesecake Factory Avocado Egg Rolls

• Choose avocados that are ripe but not too soft. Avoid avocados with black spots inside.
• If your avocados are too hard, place them in a brown paper bag to speed up the ripening process.
• When cutting the avocados, dice them carefully without mashing.
• Roll the egg rolls tight to prevent them from falling apart, and avoid overfilling with the avocado-tomato mixture.
• Use raw, unsalted cashews for this recipe, ensuring the sauce isn’t overly salty.
• Stick to vegetable or canola oil for frying. Olive oil can cause the rolls to turn too black due to its lower smoke point.
• Fry the rolls just until they reach a golden brown color. The inside ingredients don’t need to be fully cooked; you’re mainly creating a crispy exterior.

Serving Suggestions

• Enjoy the egg rolls while they’re hot for the best texture.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce (we prefer honey mustard, alfredo sauce, and buffalo sauce).
• For an extra Cheesecake Factory touch, consider frying some thinly sliced rice paper or vermicelli noodles to serve alongside.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I make these avocado egg rolls in an air fryer?

Yes, you can make these cheesecake avocado egg rolls in an air fryer for a healthier alternative. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F, spray the egg rolls lightly with cooking spray, and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.

2. How can I prevent the avocado from browning in the egg rolls?

To keep the avocado from browning, you can dip the diced avocado lightly in lemon or lime juice before adding it to the mixture. The acidity will help maintain the avocado’s vibrant color and freshness.

3. Can I prepare the avocado egg rolls ahead of time and freeze them?

Yes, you can prepare the avocado egg rolls ahead and freeze them before frying. Place the assembled rolls on a baking sheet in a single layer, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to cook, fry them directly from frozen, adding an extra minute or two to the cooking time.

4. What are some good substitutes for sun-dried tomatoes in the filling?

If you don’t prefer sun-dried tomatoes, substitute them with roasted red peppers or finely chopped fresh tomatoes. Both options will provide a different flavor profile but still complement the avocado well.

5. How can I make a gluten-free recipe for these avocado egg rolls?

To make a gluten-free version, use gluten-free spring roll wrappers or rice paper wrappers. Follow the same steps for filling and rolling, but be mindful that rice paper wrappers will have a different texture and may require a shorter frying time.

Now you’ve mastered these Cheesecake Factory Avocado Egg Rolls and you’re just a step away from making this amazing recipe at home. Whether it’s a dinner party or a snack party, these rolls will impress you every time.
