Ingredients

Scale

Wrappers & Seal

  • 810 Egg roll wrappers
  • 1 beaten egg or milk (for egg wash)

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Cooking

  • Neutral oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil), about 2 cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese with sugar and lemon zest if using. Gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much to keep some texture in the filling.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you like a diamond. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese and blueberry mixture onto the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides snugly, and roll up tightly toward the top corner.
  3. Seal the Wrappers: Brush the edges of the top corner with egg wash or water, then press firmly to seal the egg roll completely. This step is crucial to prevent any leakage during cooking.
  4. Cook the Egg Rolls: Heat oil in a deep skillet or frying pan until shimmering. Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they’re golden brown and crisp—about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Alternatively, place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake at 400°F for 12-15 minutes for a healthier method.
  5. Serve Warm: Enjoy these Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls fresh and warm for the best flavor and crunch experience.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill to avoid bursting egg rolls during cooking.
  • Keep unused wrappers covered with a damp cloth to prevent drying out.
  • Maintain oil at medium-high heat for crispy, not greasy, egg rolls.
  • Use fresh blueberries for better texture and neater filling.
  • Allow egg rolls to cool slightly after frying to let filling set and avoid burns.
