Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 10-12 egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Oil for frying
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Optional: whipped cream or ice cream for serving
How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls:
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry cream cheese mixture in the center of the wrapper. Fold the bottom corner up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush the top corner with the beaten egg to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Carefully add the egg rolls, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Serve:
- Dust the fried egg rolls with powdered sugar. Serve warm with optional whipped cream or ice cream on the side.
Tips:
- Seal Well: Ensure the egg rolls are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during frying.
- Control Oil Temperature: Keep the oil temperature consistent for even frying.
- Alternative Cooking Method: For a healthier version, you can bake the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
