Ingredients

Scale
For the filling:
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
For the egg rolls:
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
For serving:
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Honey, maple syrup, or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without being mashed.
- Assemble the egg rolls:
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (a diamond shape).
- Spoon about 2–3 tablespoons of the filling into the center of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Roll the wrapper up tightly toward the top corner, sealing the edges with a bit of beaten egg.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat the oil:
- In a deep skillet or saucepan, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to maintain the correct temperature.
- Fry the egg rolls:
- Carefully place 2–3 egg rolls into the hot oil at a time. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve:
- Dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar while still warm. Serve with honey, maple syrup, whipped cream, or ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Baking option: For a lighter version, brush the assembled egg rolls with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
- Air fryer option: Place the egg rolls in a single layer in the air fryer basket and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Make-ahead tip: Assemble the egg rolls and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before frying.
