These Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls combine crunchy and soft in every bite. The sweet, juicy blueberries mix perfectly with tangy cream cheese inside a golden wrapper. A light sprinkling of powdered sugar tops off this unexpected treat that flips traditional egg rolls into something sweet.

I stumbled on this idea during some kitchen playtime. The first batch I made vanished in minutes, and I knew I'd hit on something really good.

A chef friend once told me, 'It's all about how you close it up.' After making hundreds of these treats, I can't agree more.

Delightful Serving Ideas

Try them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some fresh whipped cream, or extra blueberry topping. For fancy dinners, add some melted white chocolate on top.

Tasty Twists

Switch things up with strawberries, raspberries, or add some lemon zest for extra flavor. Mix different cheeses together, or try fall flavors with apple and cinnamon inside.

Keeping Them Fresh

They're tastiest right after cooking, but you can keep them in the fridge for a couple days. Pop them in the oven to crisp them up again before eating.

I've played around with this recipe tons of times in my kitchen. What I've learned is that paying attention to the little details makes all the difference. When you take your time with each step, you'll end up with a dessert everyone will talk about.

Recipe FAQs

→ Are frozen blueberries okay to use?
Totally fine! Just thaw them and drain extra liquid. Fresh ones still give the best bite.
→ How can I keep them crunchy?
Enjoy them right after cooking. To re-crunch, toss them in the oven at 350°F for a few minutes.
→ What if I bake instead of fry?
Sure! Brush with oil and bake at 400°F for 15 mins. Flip them midway for even crispiness.
→ Can I prep fillings before cooking?
Definitely. Store fillings up to 48 hours in the fridge. Let cream cheese warm up before using.
→ Why are the rolls falling apart?
Don't overfill, and seal edges with water. Also, double-check your oil temperature isn't too high.

Ingredients

→ Blueberry Mixture

01 ⅓ cup granulated sugar
02 3 tablespoons cornstarch
03 7 tablespoons water, split
04 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
05 2 cups blueberries, fresh

→ Cream Filling

06 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
07 8 ounces of softened cream cheese
08 1 teaspoon lemon juice
09 ⅓ cup granulated sugar

→ For Assembly

10 About 2 cups frying oil, like vegetable
11 A dozen egg roll sheets
12 ¼ cup powdered sugar for sprinkling

Directions

Step 01

In a pan over medium, combine blueberries, sweetener, lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons of water. Once the berries pop, mix cornstarch with the leftover water and stir it in. Keep stirring until it thickens. Cool it down fully.

Step 02

Using a mixer, whip cream cheese with sugar, a splash of vanilla, and lemon juice. Blend everything until it's silky smooth.

Step 03

Spoon 1 tablespoon each of blueberry and cream mixtures onto an egg roll wrapper. Roll it up snugly, sealing it with a bit of water.

Step 04

Heat the oil to 350°F in a deep pan. Carefully fry the rolls for about 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Let them rest on paper towels.

Step 05

Sprinkle powdered sugar all over and eat them while they're still warm.

Notes

  1. Allow the blueberry mix to cool entirely before putting it in wrappers.
  2. Fry with oil held steady at 350°F for the best crunch.
