Cheesecake Factory Avocado Egg Rolls

[heart_this] · Feb 21, 2014 · 41 Comments

Cheesecake Factory Avocado Egg Rolls

Crispy avocado and sundried tomato egg rolls with a tasty tamarind and cashew dipping sauce.

I have never actually had these avocado egg rolls at the Cheesecake Factory but as soon as I came across them on pinterest via Lil’Luna I knew that I would have to try making them. I mean you really can’t go wrong taking creamy avocado, wrapping it up in crispy egg rolls and serving them with a tasty tamarind and cashew dipping sauce. This copycat recipe is essentially a simple avocado ‘guacamole’ with sundried tomatoes that is wrapped up in egg rolls and fried until crispy. I would wolf down a plate of the avocado egg rolls just by themselves but they also come with a tasty sweet and tart cashew sauce for dipping that is fabulous in it’s own right! I can’t wait to make these avocado eggs rolls again!

    Your ingredients list says 6 egg rolls (I'm assuming egg roll wrappers). But how does that translate into 8 servings. And since that seems like a lot of filling for 6 egg roll wrappers, how many does the recipe make?

    Nutrition facts — doesn't go on to say per what, is that for the whole recipe, 348 calories? Or is that per single egg roll?

    Can this be baked in the oven instead? For a healthier alternative?

    Oh my, made this tonight and it was out of this world. The sauce is awesome. I think next time i will probably make 3x the sauce. Unfortunately there is only one place you can get tamarind from where i live and i didn't have time. So i used lime juice. Also i used fish sauce instead of salt in the sauce. I think it would even be better with tamarind. Both me and my wife absolutely loved then. Thanks for posting the recipe

    With the quantity in the recipe i was about to make 7 egg rolls. One thing you might have missed is that you call for 1/2 jalapeno but its not in the directions. Again thanks for the Xcellent recipe.

    I think though I would be tempted to add bacon to the filling.

    8 egg roll wrappers vs "8 egg rolls" is a bit different. Even Pinterest has it as 8 frozen egg rolls. Lol

    Hello,
    Could you tell me what Tamarind concentrate is and where I could purchase this?
    This recipe looks soooooo goooood!
    Thank you

      Tamarind concentrate is concentrated tamarind which is dark and bitter and it comes in various forms including solid, paste, liquid. You should be able to find it in the Asian or International section of your local grocery store or in an Asian or Indian grocery stores. If you cannot find it, lime juice works well! Enjoy!

        Asian Tamarind is sour. Indian Tamarind is not. Big difference.

          Use the sour tamarind!

    Obviously quite late to this party, but are these served hot? Cold? Room temperature? I can’t imagine “hot guacamole”; OTOH cold egg rolls don’t appeal either.
    Has anyone tried air frying these? I’m new to converting from oil-frying to air-frying so looking for tips.

      I prefer them while still a little warm and they are also great at room temperature. Oil frying makes them crispier but you can lightly brush or squirt them with a small amount of oil and air-fry them.
