Mangoes originated in India over 4,000 years ago and were once considered a sacred fruit.
However, nowadays, we throw mango into a range of recipes. You can use it to make beautiful, colorful fruit salads. Use it for mango chutney, soft mango sorbet, or in jerk chicken dishes with mango salsa.
It’s incredibly versatile. It can be used in treats such as cakes or puddings. It can also serve as a sweetness injection in a salad, curry, smoothie, or even in margaritas!
But, I bet you’ve never thought of making mango-flavored spring rolls.
This fusion of Asian food will tingle your taste buds. I’ve got a fantastic recipe for you to try out: Mango-Cheesecake Spring Rolls!
Honestly, you do not knock it until you try it? Read on to find out what these spring rolls taste like, and how you can make your own.
What Are Mango-Cheesecake Spring Rolls Like?
If you love mango, and that soft texture of cheesecake then you’re in for a treat with these spring rolls.
They are positively stuffed with delicious fresh mango, for that tangy zing that I just adore. Pair it with the bitterness of cream cheese, and you’re onto a winner.
How To Make Mango-Cheesecake Spring Rolls
If you’re ready to try out this unique take on spring rolls for yourself, you first need some ingredients. Gather these ingredients to get started.
Ingredients
- 1 whole mango
- ½ cup of diced mango
- ½ cup of passion fruit juice
- 1 cup of white granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp of plain Greek yogurt
- 1 lb of cream cheese
- 1 tbsp of cornstarch
- 2 large whole eggs
- 1 tsp lime juice
- Spring roll wraps
- Frying oil
- 3 large egg yolks
Method
To make this tasty recipe, begin by preheating the oven to 320 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, grab a small 6-8” springform cake tin.
Then, start by dicing up the mango for your cheesecake better. Use the whole mango to make slices to fill your spring rolls.
You will want to cut up the mango into thin slices. Cut them as you would if you were cutting up spring onions for your rolls.
The key to this recipe is ensuring that the cream cheese is removed from the refrigerator. Do this at least 30 minutes before you want to cook. This will allow it to be brought up to room temperature.
If you’re trying to make a cheesecake batter with cold ingredients, you’ll end up with over-beaten batter. It won’t be smooth and won’t sit together well. Keep this in mind.
First, take half a cup of diced mango. Place it in a blender with the egg yolks and 2 large eggs. Next, add the ½ a cup of passion fruit juice. Finally, add the 2 tbsp of plain Greek yogurt.
Next, blend on medium for around 3 minutes or until smooth.
Then, you will want to add in your 1 tsp of lime juice. Next, add the 1 cup of white granulated sugar. Finally, add 1 tbsp of cornstarch.
The next step is to blend again until fully mixed together. If you don’t want to use a blender, then you can use a whisk instead to create your cheesecake batter.
Once fully mixed, the next step is to lightly bake the mixture so that it is crispy and crumbly.
So, pour your mixture into the springform tin. Bake for around 30-50 minutes. Look for a very light golden brown color, without cracks, and a slightly jiggly texture.
It should be a little underdone as you’re going to fry them up afterward.
This should ensure that you have a fluffy, crumbly mixture to add to your spring rolls.
Once cooled, it’s time to prepare your spring rolls. You can use premade roll wraps, or make your own (shown below).
Start by placing the wrap on a flat surface. Use spoons to fluff up some cheesecake mixture. Spoon it into the middle of the wrap.
Then, top with some of your thinly sliced mango, and roll up the wrap from bottom to top. When you nearly get to the top, roll in the sides, tuck those in, and roll up completely.
Repeat for all of the wraps. This depends on how much mixture you have and how much you use on the inside.
Next, place them in a large skillet with some frying oil on a medium heat. Briefly fry them until they are golden and crispy. Then, serve up with some soft ice cream or sorbet!
How To Make Your Own Spring Roll Wraps
If you want to make your own spring roll wrappers, then we’ve got you covered. First, you’ll need to take one cup of all-purpose flour in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons of cornstarch. Then add ¼ teaspoon of salt.
Take a wired whisk and mix up the ingredients as they are while dry. Once mixed, then add 1 ¼ cups of water, and mix it up again.
Now, your mixture should have a very thin consistency. If not, add more water and mix until there are no lumps. If it is too thin, add more flour until you get it right.
Once you have the perfect consistency, you’ll want to heat a non-stick flat pan on low heat. Lightly grease the pan with paper dipped in oil. You may not need to do this if your pan is truly non-stick.
Lift up the pan above the burner. Add around 2 tablespoons of the batter and spread it as you would for pancakes. Keep the pan off the burner, and just hovering above, spread to make a thin crepe.
Place the pan back on the burner. Allow it to cook for a few seconds. Wait until it looks almost translucent and like a normal spring roll wrapper.
No need to flip, just lift gently with a spatula and do the same with the rest of your batter.
There you have it, your own homemade spring roll wrappers!
Summary
This unique mango cheesecake spring roll recipe is not for everyone. It is a fun twist on spring rolls. It makes for a sweet and tangy dessert when served with ice cream!
