Ingredients

Scale

Blueberry Filling

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Assembly and Frying

  • 8 egg roll wrappers
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 2 cups)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the blueberry filling: In a small saucepan, combine fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in cornstarch dissolved in a little water to further thicken if needed. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
  2. Make the cream cheese filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
  3. Assemble the egg rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Place about one tablespoon of cream cheese filling and one tablespoon of cooled blueberry filling near one corner of the wrapper. Fold the corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to seal. Use a little water on the edges to help seal the wrappers. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
  4. Fry the egg rolls: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Drain and serve: Remove the egg rolls with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier.
  • Make sure the blueberry filling is cool before assembling to prevent the wrappers from becoming soggy.
  • Seal the egg rolls tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
  • Use a thermometer to maintain the oil temperature for even frying and crispiness.
  • Can substitute vegetable oil with canola oil or peanut oil for frying.
