Ingredients

8 pieces egg roll wrappers
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
0.5 cup cream cheese, softened
0.25 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Vegetable oil (enough for frying)
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 2: In a separate bowl, combine the blueberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Gently mix to coat the blueberries evenly.
Step 3: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center.
Step 4: Add a spoonful of the blueberry mixture on top of the cream cheese.
Step 5: Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly, sealing the top corner with a little water.
Step 6: Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Step 7: Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8: Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh blueberries for a brighter flavor or frozen ones for convenience; just thaw and drain excess liquid if necessary.
Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture for extra warmth and spice.
For a healthier option, bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through until golden.

Storage

Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to retain crispiness. Avoid microwaving as it can make the wrappers soggy.

How to Serve

Four golden-brown rolled crepes sit closely on a white plate with black floral patterns, one of the crepes cut open to show a thick, deep purple blueberry filling inside smooth, thin layers of crepe. The crepes are dusted with a light layer of powdered sugar, and several fresh whole blueberries are scattered around on the plate. The white plate rests on a white marbled surface, highlighting the rich colors and textures of the crepes and blueberries. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries without thawing?

Yes, but it’s best to thaw and drain them first to prevent excess moisture, which can make the egg rolls soggy.

What can I substitute for cream cheese?

You can use mascarpone or ricotta cheese as a milder alternative, but cream cheese provides the best texture and flavor balance.
