Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cornstarch (to thicken)
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Egg Rolls:
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg (beaten, for sealing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
For Serving:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Blueberry Filling
In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 2: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture
In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then add a spoonful of the blueberry filling on top. Fold in the sides of the wrapper, then roll it tightly, sealing the edges with the beaten egg. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 4: Fry to Perfection
Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Once the oil reaches 350°F (175°C), carefully place the egg rolls in the oil, frying for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on a paper towel.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Dust the warm egg rolls with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Pair them with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat!
Tips for the Best Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
- Make sure the blueberry filling is cool before assembling the egg rolls to prevent the wrappers from getting soggy.
- Seal the edges well with egg wash to prevent any filling from leaking out while frying.
- Use a thermometer to check the oil temperature—too hot, and they’ll burn; too cool, and they’ll be greasy.
These Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls are crispy, creamy, and packed with fruity goodness. Serve them fresh and warm for the best taste. Enjoy!
