Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 4 oz (half a block) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (or more, to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Egg Rolls:
- 10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil (for frying)
Optional Toppings & Dips:
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Vanilla sauce or melted chocolate (for dipping)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Filling
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries. If using frozen blueberries, thaw them first and pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, with one corner pointing toward you, like a diamond.
- Place 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese and blueberry mixture in the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly like an envelope. Roll the wrapper away from you to form a log. Brush the top corner with beaten egg and seal tightly. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Heat the Oil
- In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, test by dipping a small piece of wrapper into the oil—it should sizzle immediately.
4. Fry the Egg Rolls
- Carefully place 2-3 egg rolls into the hot oil, seam side down. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining egg rolls.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
- Dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Serve warm with vanilla sauce, melted chocolate, or your favorite dip.
