How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Cooking these egg rolls is as fun as it is easy. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

Start by making the blueberry compote. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Stir everything together and let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the blueberries release their juices and the mixture thickens. It should resemble a jam-like consistency. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the blueberry mixture cool completely.

Pro Tip: If you prefer a smoother filling, you can mash the blueberries with the back of a spoon while they cook.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Mixture

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are well combined and smooth. The result should be a silky, sweet, and slightly tangy filling that pairs perfectly with the blueberries.

Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls

Now comes the fun part—assembling the egg rolls! Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface with a corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape). Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center, spreading it slightly. Add a small spoonful of the cooled blueberry filling on top.

To fold the egg rolls:

1. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling.
2. Fold in the sides tightly to create a little pocket.
3. Roll the wrapper upward until you have a snug roll. Seal the edge with a dab of water to keep everything in place. Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers.

Step 4: Fry the Egg Rolls

Heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of egg roll wrapper into the oil—it should sizzle immediately. Fry the egg rolls in batches, about 2-3 at a time, to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.

Once fried, transfer the egg rolls to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve

For a finishing touch, dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar. Serve them warm for the best experience. The crispy shell combined with the creamy, fruity filling is pure magic.

Helpful Tips:

• Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Fresh blueberries are wonderful when in season, but frozen ones work just as well. No need to thaw them before cooking.
• Seal the Egg Rolls Properly: A dab of water on the edges of the wrapper acts like glue, ensuring the egg rolls stay sealed while frying.
• Oil Temperature: Make sure your oil is hot enough before frying, or the egg rolls may absorb too much oil and turn greasy. Use a thermometer to maintain a temperature of 350°F.
• Air Fryer Option: For a lighter version, you can cook these egg rolls in an air fryer at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I bake these egg rolls instead of frying them?
Yes! You can bake them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 15-18 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Brush the rolls lightly with oil to help them crisp up.

Can I use wonton wrappers instead of egg roll wrappers?
If you want smaller, bite-sized treats, wonton wrappers are a great option. Just adjust the filling amounts accordingly.

How do I keep the egg rolls crispy for longer?
Avoid stacking the egg rolls immediately after frying, as the steam can make them soggy. Instead, place them on a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
