Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Mixing bowls
• Spoon or spatula
• Egg roll wrappers
• Small bowl for sealing
• Deep fryer or large skillet
• Tongs or a slotted spoon
• Paper towels for draining

Ingredients Overview

For the Filling

• Cream Cheese: Adds a creamy, tangy base to the filling.
• Sugar: Sweetens the filling to complement the blueberries.
• Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor.
• Blueberries: Fresh or frozen, they add a burst of fruity goodness.

For the Egg Rolls

• Egg Roll Wrappers: Create the crispy outer shell.
• Water: Helps seal the edges of the wrappers.

For Frying

• Oil: Neutral oil like vegetable or canola works best for frying.

Ingredients

For the Filling

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)

For the Egg Rolls

• 8-10 egg roll wrappers
• Water (for sealing)

For Frying

• Vegetable oil, for deep frying

Optional Garnishes

• Powdered sugar
• Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

• In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
• Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls

• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling into the center.
• Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly and seal the top edge with a dab of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls

• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep fryer or skillet to 350°F (175°C).
• Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• Use tongs or a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls and drain on paper towels.

4. Serve and Garnish

• Dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar and serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side.

Recipe Tips

• Don’t Overfill: Adding too much filling can cause the egg rolls to burst during frying.
• Seal Tightly: Ensure the edges are well-sealed to prevent leaks.
• Fry in Small Batches: Overcrowding the pan can lower the oil temperature and make the egg rolls greasy.

What to Serve With This Recipe

Pair these egg rolls with a dipping sauce like sweetened condensed milk, vanilla glaze, or a fruit compote for extra indulgence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other fruits?
Absolutely! Strawberries, raspberries, or even peaches work beautifully in this recipe.

How do I store leftovers?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for crispiness.
