Cheesecake Factory Avocado Egg Rolls Copycat Recipe

This recipe recreates creamy avocado egg rolls filled with diced avocado, sun-dried tomatoes, red onion, and cilantro, wrapped in egg roll wrappers and fried until golden and crispy. A vibrant dipping sauce blends vinegars, honey, saffron, herbs, garlic, and spices for a complex, tangy complement. These egg rolls retain chunky avocado pieces for texture and freshness, rather than mashing them into a spread. Careful frying at 375°F ensures a crisp outer shell without sogginess.

Ingredients

Egg Rolls:
  • 3 avocado peeled, pitted, & diced, large
  • 8 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes drained and chopped, packed in oil
  • 3 tablespoons red onion minced
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro chopped, fresh
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 package egg roll wrappers at least 12 wrappers
  • 1 egg beaten
Dipping Sauce:
  • 4 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 honey or mapke syrup, cup
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron powdered
  • 1/2 cashews cup, chopped
  • 1 cup cilantro fresh
  • 2-4 cloves garlic depending how garlicky you want the rolls
  • 2 green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar white
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1/2 olive oil more if needed, cup

Instructions

Dipping Sauce:
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, stir together the vinegars, saffron powder, and honey. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring, and set aside.
  2. Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and the honey mixture to a blender. Puree until combined and fully blended.
  3. Pour the mixture into a bowl and stir it. If needed, add more olive oil to thin it out.
  4. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Avocado Rolls:
  1. In a large bowl, gently stir diced avocados, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and salt.
  2. Position one egg roll on a cutting board with the corner facing you. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the egg mixture.
  3. Distribute the avocado filling evenly onto the center.
  4. Fold the bottom corner up 1/4 of the way over the filling. Roll up from side to side, fold the top corner over all, and press to seal.
  5. Repeat with the remaining egg roll wrappers.
  6. Add enough oil to a deep pan over medium-high heat to submerge a batch of avocado egg rolls. Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Deep fry the egg rolls in batches for about 3-4 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Remove rolls from oil and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Use neutral high smoke point oils such as peanut, vegetable, or canola oil; avoid sesame or olive oils which burn at frying temperatures.
  • Maintain oil temperature at 375°F using a candy thermometer for consistent frying results.
  • Cook egg rolls in small batches to prevent steaming and sogginess; fry 3-4 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain cooked egg rolls on a wire rack over paper towels to preserve crispness.
  • Do not overfill wrappers to avoid bursting during frying.
  • If making large batches, spritz diced avocado with lime juice to slow browning.
  • Keep avocado pieces chunky for texture; this filling differs from guacamole.
