Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls (Printable Version)

Crispy egg roll wrappers stuffed with sweet cream cheese and blueberries, creating a delicious fusion dessert treat.

# What You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 225g cream cheese, softened
02 - 50g granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 150g fresh or frozen blueberries

→ Assembly

05 - 8-10 egg roll wrappers
06 - 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
07 - Vegetable oil, for frying

→ Serving

08 - Powdered sugar, for dusting
09 - Honey, maple syrup, or whipped cream (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without being mashed.
02 - Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (diamond shape). Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper up tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edges with a bit of beaten egg. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
03 - In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 5cm of vegetable oil to 175°C. Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
04 - Carefully place 2-3 egg rolls into the hot oil at a time. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
05 - Dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve with honey, maple syrup, whipped cream, or ice cream if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Ready in just 35 minutes from start to finish
  • Uses simple ingredients you likely have on hand
  • Versatile serving options for any occasion
  • Can be baked or air fried for a lighter version
02 -
  • These egg rolls freeze beautifully for up to 3 months when uncooked
  • The filling can be prepared a day ahead for quicker assembly
  • The contrast between the hot crispy exterior and cool creamy interior is best when served immediately
03 -
  • Allow the fried egg rolls to rest for 2 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar. This prevents the sugar from instantly melting into the hot surface
  • When using frozen berries, keep them frozen until the last moment to prevent color bleeding into the cream cheese
  • The egg rolls are done when they float in the oil and display an even golden brown color all around
