Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Egg Roll Wrappers: You can find these in your local grocery store’s refrigerated section; ensure they’re fresh for the best results.
- Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing; it creates the perfect creamy filling.
- Fresh Blueberries: Opt for ripe blueberries to maximize sweetness; frozen will work too but may alter texture slightly.
- Sugar: A touch of sugar enhances the sweetness; feel free to adjust according to your taste preference.
- Vegetable Oil: Choose a neutral oil like canola or sunflower for frying; it allows the flavors to shine.
- Cinnamon: A sprinkle adds warmth and depth; consider using nutmeg for an interesting twist.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, fresh blueberries, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and well-blended. This mixture should be creamy with bursts of blue goodness.
Assemble Your Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about two tablespoons of filling into the center of each wrapper and fold according to package instructions. Seal edges well with water to prevent any leaks during frying.
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). To test if it’s ready, drop in a small piece of leftover wrapper; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place several assembled egg rolls into hot oil without overcrowding the pan. Fry until golden brown on all sides—about 3-4 minutes per side—then transfer them onto paper towels to drain excess oil.
Cool & Serve!: Allow your fried blueberry cream cheese egg rolls to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm with a side of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Now that you’ve embarked on this culinary adventure, you’re sure to impress everyone around you with your newfound skills in making blueberry cream cheese egg rolls! Enjoy each delightful bite knowing you’ve created something special.
