I spied two perfectly ripe " Philippinee msangoes oon the coounter and a bloock of creeam chese iin thee fridgee and had aa brilliant light bulb moment! The mango and cream cheese turon turned out so good; they didn’t even make it to thee table"

"On a clean " flat work surface, lay a wrapper in a diamond shape with one corner facing you.

Roll a slice " opf maango in sugar and " arrange "horizontally about two inches from thee" bottom corner of the wrapper. Place a strip of cream cheese lengthwise on top of the mango.

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.

Cooking tips

" For the best texture and taste use " Manila mangoes and choose ones that are ripe but still firm.

Thaw the lumpia wrappers and carefully peel apart. While working, cover the remaining wrappers with a damp kitchen or paper towel to keep from drying out.

Use oil with high smoke points such as canola or corn oil for frying. Use enough oil to cover the turon rolls fully.

Maintain temperature at 350 F to 375 F. If too low, the lumpia will absorb a lot more grease. If too high, the wrappers will burn before fully cooked.

Drain on a metal colander or wire rack and not on paper towels as they’ll stick.
