Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Egg roll wrappers – thin, pliable sheets for frying
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola oil, enough to cover half of the egg rolls)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Gently fold the ingredients together until just mixed, keeping some berries intact for texture.
  2. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese and blueberry mixture near the bottom corner. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners snugly and roll upward, sealing the remaining edge with a bit of egg wash.
  3. Heat the oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat enough vegetable oil to cover half of the egg roll, maintaining a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to keep the heat steady for even frying.
  4. Fry the egg rolls: Carefully add the assembled egg rolls to the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Serve warm: Serve the Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls warm for the best contrast of textures and flavors, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with your favorite sauce.

Notes

  • Use chilled filling to prevent egg rolls from leaking during frying.
  • Seal the edges securely with egg wash to avoid openings while frying.
  • Maintain oil temperature at around 350°F for crispy, golden results.
  • Fry in small batches to keep oil temperature steady and ensure even cooking.
  • Drain fried egg rolls on paper towels promptly to remove excess oil.
