Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe medium avocados
  • 810 egg roll wrappers (fresh refrigerated preferred)
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • About 2 cups neutral cooking oil (canola or vegetable) for frying
  • Sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions

  1. Mash the avocados in a medium bowl until creamy but still chunky, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir gently to combine and adjust seasoning as needed, about 3 minutes.
  3. Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Keep remaining wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying, about 2 minutes.
  4. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the avocado mixture near the bottom corner of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides snugly, then roll tightly toward the top corner. Moisten the top corner with water to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling, about 10-12 minutes.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C), about 5 minutes.
  6. Fry 3-4 egg rolls at a time without overcrowding for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn gently. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining egg rolls, about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately with sweet chili dipping sauce.

Notes

Maintain oil temperature at 350°F (175°C) for crispy egg rolls without greasiness. Use water to seal wrappers tightly to prevent filling leakage. Pat filling dry if avocados are watery. For a lighter option, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes, turning halfway.
