Ingredients Youβll Need
For the egg rolls:
- 8 egg roll wrappers
- 1 cup cream cheese (softened)
- Β½ cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
- ΒΌ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ΒΌ teaspoon cinnamon (optional for extra flavor)
- Vegetable oil for frying
Pro Tip: If you donβt have egg roll wrappers, you can use spring roll wrappers or even phyllo dough for a different twist.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much. - Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface, with one corner facing you like a diamond shape. Place about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll the wrapper tightly, sealing the top corner with a bit of water to help it stick. - Heat the Oil:
In a large pan, heat about 1-2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Youβll know the oil is hot enough when a small drop of water sizzles in it. - Fry the Egg Rolls:
Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn the rolls and ensure even cooking. - Drain and Serve:
Once crispy, remove the egg rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Recipe Notes & Tips
- Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. These egg rolls are best eaten fresh, but theyβll still be delicious when reheated!
- Reheating Tips: To crisp them up again, reheat in the oven at 350Β°F for about 10 minutes, or fry for a minute or two.
- Variations: Try using other fruit fillings like strawberries or raspberries for a different twist. You can also add a bit of chocolate chips for a richer treat!
