Mango and Cream Cheese Turon

Ingredients

• 2 ripe but firm Philippine mangoes
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 12 spring roll wrappers
• 4 ounces cream cheese, cut into 1/2-inch thick strips
• canola oil

Steps

1. 1

   Slice mangoes and with a spoon, scoop flesh from skin. Discard pits. Cut each side lengthwise into thirds.

2. 2

   Separate spring roll wrappers into individual sheets. Cover with a damp paper or kitchen towel. On a clean, flat work surface, lay a wrapper in a diamond shape with one corner facing you.

3. 3

   Roll a slice of mango in sugar and arrange horizontally about 2 inches from the bottom corner of the wrapper.

4. 4

   Place a strip of cream cheese lengthwise on top of the mango.

5. 5

   Fold the bottom corner over the filling and then fold in sides. Starting at the bottom, roll up the wrapper to form a tight log around the filling. Lightly wet the top corner of the wrapper with water and press to seal.

6. 6

   In a skillet over medium heat, heat about 1 inch deep of oil to 350 F.

7. 7

   Roll sealed spring rolls in sugar and place in a single layer, seam-side down, in the oil. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or golden brown and crisp.

8. 8

   With tongs, remove from pan and drain in a metal colander or wire rack. Serve immediately.
