Ingredients

Scale

Egg Roll Wrappers & Frying

  • Egg Roll Wrappers
  • Butter or Oil (for frying), about 1/2 cup or enough to shallow fry

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract if using. Mix gently to keep blueberries intact while ensuring the cream cheese is creamy and well-blended.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat and spoon a generous tablespoon of the blueberry cream cheese mixture near one corner. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the edges with a little water to prevent them from opening during frying.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour butter or your preferred frying oil into a skillet and heat over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking. The right temperature ensures the egg rolls will crisp without absorbing too much oil.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Fry the rolled egg rolls in batches for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to gently turn them for even cooking.
  5. Drain and Cool: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess grease. Let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect warm texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Berries: Fresh blueberries create the best texture and flavor; avoid canned or frozen that can be watery.
  • Seal Properly: A wet brush of water on edges ensures egg rolls stay intact during frying without leaking.
  • Control Oil Temperature: Medium heat keeps the egg rolls crispy and golden without burning or being greasy.
  • Don’t Overfill: Overstuffing makes rolling difficult and can cause the filling to spill out during cooking.
  • Serve Warm: Egg rolls taste best when just fried, maximizing the contrast between crispy shell and creamy inside.
