Yield: 12 Servings

Ingredients

→ For the Filling

01 8 oz cream cheese, softened
02 1/4 cup powdered sugar (adjust for sweetness)
03 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
04 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (thawed if frozen)

→ For the Egg Rolls

05 10-12 egg roll wrappers (you can find these at most grocery stores)
06 1/2 cup milk (or water) for sealing the wrappers
07 Vegetable oil (for frying)

→ For Dusting

08 1/4 cup granulated sugar
09 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

Step 01

In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or a whisk. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until combined. Gently fold in the blueberries, breaking some slightly but leaving some intact for texture.

Step 02

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface with a corner pointing toward you (so it looks like a diamond shape). Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the blueberry-cream cheese mixture into the center of the wrapper. Brush the edges of the wrapper with milk (or water) to help seal it. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the two side corners, and roll it tightly toward the top corner, sealing it well.

Step 03

Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), gently place a few egg rolls into the oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 04

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon. While the egg rolls are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat them.

Step 05

Serve warm and enjoy as a sweet treat or dessert. They can be served with a side of extra blueberry sauce or whipped cream, if desired!

Notes

  1. If you want a healthier version, you can bake the egg rolls in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Brush the wrappers with a little oil before baking.
  2. If using frozen blueberries, ensure they're thawed and drained well to avoid excess moisture that might affect the filling.
  3. For a fun twist, you can add a bit of lemon zest to the cream cheese filling for extra flavor.
