Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries work perfectly; just make sure they’re ripe for the best flavor.
- Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese; it blends beautifully with the blueberries for a velvety filling.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness; adjust according to your taste preference.
- Egg Roll Wrappers: These are essential for that crispy exterior; store-bought wrappers save you time.
- Oil for Frying: Choose vegetable or canola oil for frying; it has a high smoke point and neutral flavor.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine fresh blueberries, softened cream cheese, and sugar. Mash lightly until mixed but still chunky; this gives texture to your filling.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of filling onto the center and fold in the edges tightly to seal.
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat, pour enough oil to submerge half of each egg roll. Heat until it’s hot but not smoking—about 350°F (175°C) is ideal.
Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully add the egg rolls in batches without crowding them. Fry until golden brown on all sides—approximately 3-4 minutes per side—flipping gently with tongs.
Drain and Cool: Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg rolls from oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy these delightful Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls fresh out of the fryer or at room temperature! They pair beautifully with powdered sugar dusted on top or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side for an extra treat!
