Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Egg Roll Wrappers: You can find these in most grocery stores; look for fresh ones for the best texture.
- Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese for easy mixing; it adds that rich, creamy texture we all love.
- Fresh Blueberries: Opt for ripe blueberries for maximum sweetness; frozen works too but may release more juice.
- Sugar: Regular granulated sugar enhances sweetness; feel free to adjust according to your taste buds.
- Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon adds warmth and depth; it’s like a cozy hug in every bite.
- Oil for Frying: Choose a neutral oil with a high smoke point, such as vegetable or canola oil; this helps achieve crispiness.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in fresh blueberries gently to avoid smashing them.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on your workspace. Spoon about two tablespoons of the blueberry mixture into the center.
Seal the Edges: Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water and fold over diagonally to form a triangle. Press firmly to seal tightly.
Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about two inches of oil over medium heat until hot enough (around 350°F) for frying.
Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place each sealed egg roll into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy—about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve Warm: Once golden brown, remove the egg rolls from oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with powdered sugar dusted on top!
Now you have those delightful blueberry cream cheese egg rolls ready to wow your family or guests! Enjoy each crispy bite filled with sweet blueberries and creamy goodness!
