Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, these Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls are the perfect balance of texture and flavor. The combination of sweetened cream cheese and juicy blueberries wrapped in a golden, crunchy shell makes them an irresistible dessert or snack.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
8 egg roll wrappers
4 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
½ cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (for sealing)
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions
Make the Filling: In a bowl, I mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Then, I gently fold in the blueberries.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: I place an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with a corner facing me. I spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the filling onto the center, fold in the sides, roll it tightly, and seal the edge with the cornstarch mixture.
Fry Until Golden: In a deep pan, I heat oil over medium heat. I fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Once done, I remove them and let them drain on a paper towel.
Dust & Serve: I sprinkle them with powdered sugar and serve them warm.
Servings and Timing
Servings: 8 egg rolls
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 16 minutes
Variations
Berry Mix: I sometimes add raspberries or chopped strawberries for a mixed berry flavor.
Chocolate Twist: A drizzle of melted chocolate over the top makes them even more indulgent.
Baked Option: Instead of frying, I bake them at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, brushing them with a little melted butter for crispiness.
Air Fryer Alternative: I air-fry them at 375°F for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Cinnamon Sugar Coating: Instead of powdered sugar, I roll them in a cinnamon-sugar mix for a warm, spiced flavor.
Storage/Reheating
Storage: I keep leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: To bring back the crispiness, I reheat them in an oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or in an air fryer for 3-4 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it can make them soggy.
FAQs
How do I keep my egg rolls from getting soggy?
I make sure the oil is hot enough before frying and avoid overcrowding the pan. Draining them on a paper towel also helps.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, I assemble them and store them in the fridge for a few hours before frying. If freezing, I separate them with parchment paper and fry them straight from frozen.
Can I use other fruits?
Absolutely! Strawberries, raspberries, or even diced peaches work great in this recipe.
What dipping sauces go well with these?
I love serving them with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or a simple berry compote for extra flavor.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese?
Yes, but the filling might be slightly less creamy. Full-fat cream cheese gives the best texture.
Conclusion
These Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls are a fantastic treat that combines crunch, creaminess, and fruity sweetness. Whether I fry, bake, or air-fry them, they always turn out delicious. They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and perfect for satisfying any sweet tooth.
