Crispy egg rolls filled with creamy cream cheese and sweet blueberries. A fun and easy dessert or snack perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the filling:
    • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
    • ¼ cup granulated sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 cup blueberries
  • For the egg rolls:
    • 8–10 egg roll wrappers
    • 1 large egg, beaten
    • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • For serving:
    • Powdered sugar, for dusting
    • Optional: honey, maple syrup, whipped cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Filling:

    • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This ensures a lump-free, well-combined filling, creating a consistent texture.
    • Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without being mashed. This prevents the blueberries from breaking down and making the filling too watery, ensuring a balanced texture.

  • Assemble the Egg Rolls:

    • Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (a diamond shape). This orientation makes it easier to fold, ensuring a well-formed roll.
    • Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks, ensuring the rolls stay intact.
    • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. This creates a secure base, preventing leaks and ensuring a well-formed roll.
    • Roll the wrapper up tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edges with a bit of beaten egg. This ensures a tight seal during frying, preventing the rolls from opening.
    • Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

  • Heat the Oil:

    • In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature. This ensures even frying and prevents burning, ensuring a golden-brown texture.

  • Fry the Egg Rolls:

    • Carefully place 2–3 egg rolls into the hot oil at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan. This ensures even cooking and prevents the oil temperature from dropping.
    • Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. This ensures even cooking and a crispy texture, enhancing the overall experience.
    • Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. This removes excess oil and keeps the egg rolls crispy, preventing a soggy texture.

  • Serve:

    • Dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar while still warm. This allows the sugar to adhere better, enhancing the presentation.
    • Serve with honey, maple syrup, whipped cream, or ice cream if desired. These add extra flavor and richness, enhancing the overall taste.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese for smooth filling.
  • Seal wrappers tightly to prevent leaks.
  • Maintain oil temperature for even frying.
  • Drain excess oil on paper towels.
  • Serve warm for best taste.
