Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
These crispy Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls are filled with a creamy blueberry filling and topped with powdered sugar, making them a delightful dessert for all ages.
Ingredients
For the Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened Low-fat cream cheese or Greek yogurt can be used for a lighter option.
- 1 cup fresh blueberries Frozen blueberries can be used if drained well.
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar Plus extra for dusting.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Egg Rolls
- 1 package egg roll wrappers Whole wheat or rice wrappers can be used as a healthier option.
- Oil for frying vegetable or canola
Instructions
Preparation of Filling
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, blueberries, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well incorporated.
- Use a fork to gently mash the blueberries as you mix; this will release their juices and enhance the flavor.
Filling the Wrappers
- Place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner facing you. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the filling into the center.
- Be careful not to overfill the wrappers; this makes sealing them much easier!
Sealing Egg Rolls
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners, and roll tightly to seal. Use a bit of water on the edges to help seal.
- Ensuring a tight seal helps keep the filling from leaking while frying.
Frying
- In a deep skillet, heat about 2 inches of oil over medium heat until a small drop of batter sizzles upon contact.
- Carefully add the egg rolls to the hot oil in batches, being cautious not to overcrowd. Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Flip the egg rolls halfway through cooking for even browning.
Serving
- Remove the egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Serve warm for the best texture and flavor!
Notes
These egg rolls are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or any special occasion. You can serve them with vanilla ice cream or chocolate drizzle for an extra treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
