Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s how to make Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls:

Prepare the Filling:

  1. Mix the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to mash them.
  2. Prepare the Egg Roll Wrappers: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you (so it looks like a diamond). Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper.

Assemble the Egg Rolls:

  1. Roll the Egg Rolls: Carefully fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Brush the top corner with a bit of beaten egg to help seal the roll. Roll it tightly but gently, ensuring the edges are sealed.
  2. Prepare for Frying: Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling, placing the finished rolls on a plate lined with parchment paper.

Fry the Egg Rolls:

  1. Heat the Oil: In a large pan or skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium heat.
  2. Fry the Egg Rolls: Once the oil is hot (but not smoking), gently place the egg rolls into the pan, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  3. Drain Excess Oil: Once fried, remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Dust with Powdered Sugar: While the egg rolls are still warm, dust them with powdered sugar for a sweet finish.
  2. Serve: Enjoy as is or serve with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.

How to Serve

  • With Ice Cream or Whipped Cream: Serve alongside vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  • As a Dessert for Guests: These egg rolls make for a fun and unique dessert at any party or gathering.
  • With Chocolate or Caramel Drizzle: A drizzle of melted chocolate or caramel adds a special touch.
  • For a Snack or Treat: Enjoy them as a sweet snack or after-dinner treat.

Additional Tips

  • Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are best when in season, but frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
  • Don’t Overfill the Wrappers: Be careful not to overstuff the egg rolls to ensure they fry up evenly and remain sealed.
  • Adjust the Sweetness: Feel free to adjust the powdered sugar based on your sweetness preference.
  • Serve Immediately: These egg rolls are best enjoyed warm and crispy, so serve them right after frying.

    Absolutely! Try strawberries, raspberries, peaches, or a mix of berries for a tasty variation.
