Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Blueberry Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly:

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Filling:

    • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture begins to simmer.
    • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the remaining tablespoon of water until smooth. Stir this slurry into the blueberry mixture.
    • Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, approximately 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:

    • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  3. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

    • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface with one corner pointing toward you, forming a diamond shape.
    • Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture horizontally across the center of the wrapper, leaving space at the edges.
    • Top the cream cheese with 1 tablespoon of the cooled blueberry filling.
    • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners, and roll up tightly toward the top corner. Brush a small amount of the beaten egg on the top corner to seal the egg roll.
    • Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls:

    • In a large, deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
    • Carefully place a few egg rolls into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each side until golden brown, approximately 2–3 minutes per side.
    • Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.
  5. Serve:

    • Once slightly cooled, dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar.
    • Serve warm, optionally with a side of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Notes

  • Ensure the blueberry filling is completely cooled before assembling to prevent the egg roll wrappers from becoming soggy.
  • For a lighter version, consider baking the assembled egg rolls in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until golden brown.
  • These egg rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be reheated in an oven to retain their crispiness.
