Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Egg Roll Wrappers: These thin sheets create a perfect crunchy outer layer; find them in the refrigerated section of your grocery store.
- Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese for easy mixing; low-fat versions work fine but may alter texture slightly.
- Fresh Blueberries: Choose ripe blueberries for sweetness; frozen ones can be used but might release extra moisture.
- Sugar: A sprinkle adds sweetness to balance the tangy cream cheese; adjust based on your taste preferences.
- Vanilla Extract: Just a dash infuses warmth and enhances all flavors beautifully; pure vanilla is preferred.
- Cinnamon Powder: This spice adds warmth and depth; it pairs perfectly with both blueberries and cream cheese.
- Oil for Frying: Vegetable or canola oil works well; heat it until hot for that perfect golden-brown finish.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, fresh blueberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon powder. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about two tablespoons of filling onto the center and fold over two corners tightly.
Seal Them Up: Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water to help seal it shut. Carefully roll towards the remaining corner while tucking in sides as you go.
Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan or pot, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Test if it’s ready by dropping in a small piece of wrapper—it should sizzle immediately.
Fry Until Golden Brown: Fry each egg roll until golden brown on both sides—about 2-3 minutes per side should do it! Drain on paper towels afterward for extra crispiness.
Serve and Enjoy!: Allow them to cool slightly before serving with powdered sugar or dipping sauces like chocolate or caramel for added indulgence.
There you have it—deliciously crispy Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls that will surely impress anyone lucky enough to taste them! Whether it’s for family gatherings or cozy nights in, these treats will always be a hit.
