How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Blueberry Filling

• In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, ⅓ cup sugar, 6 tablespoons water, and lemon juice.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture starts to simmer.
• In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon water and cornstarch to make a slurry.
• Pour the slurry into the blueberry mixture and stir continuously until it thickens (about 1–2 minutes).
• Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling

• In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
• Add ⅓ cup sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy and fully combined.

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls

• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing toward you (like a diamond shape).
• Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling in the center.
• Top with about 1 tablespoon of cooled blueberry filling.
• Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the tip with a dab of water.

4. Fry the Egg Rolls

• Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer over medium heat until it reaches 350°F.
• Fry 3–4 egg rolls at a time, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2–3 minutes total).
• Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Serving and Decoration

Once the egg rolls are golden and crispy, dust them lightly with powdered sugar while they’re still warm.
For an extra special touch, you can:

• Serve them with a small bowl of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on the side.
• Drizzle a little melted white chocolate over the top for a sweet finish.
• Garnish with a few extra fresh blueberries and a sprig of mint if you want a pretty presentation for guests.

They’re best enjoyed slightly warm when the cream cheese filling is still soft and creamy.

How to Serve Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls

These egg rolls can shine in different ways:

• Brunch Buffet: Add them to your brunch table next to fresh fruit and muffins.
• Party Dessert: Slice them in half diagonally and arrange on a platter for easy grabbing.
• Movie Night: Wrap them in parchment and pass them around like a sweet treat.
• Special Treat: Just enjoy one with a hot cup of coffee or tea when you need a little pick-me-up.

Storing Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls

• Refrigerate: Place cooled egg rolls in an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 5–7 minutes to crisp them back up. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
• Freeze: You can freeze them after frying and cooling completely. Place them in a single layer in a freezer bag. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven at 375°F for about 10–12 minutes.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Seal Well: Make sure to seal the egg rolls tightly with water so they don’t burst while frying.
• Cool Fillings: Let both the blueberry and cream cheese mixtures cool before assembling to avoid sogginess.
• Hot Oil: Keep the oil temperature steady around 350°F for crispy, not greasy, egg rolls.
• Don’t Overfill: Use just a tablespoon each of filling so they’re easy to roll and fry without leaks.
• Drain Well: Drain on paper towels immediately after frying to remove extra oil.
