Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
Filling Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Wrapping and Frying Ingredients:
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
- 1 large egg, beaten (for sealing)
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Serving Ingredients:
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Honey, maple syrup, or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Craft a velvety blueberry cream cheese mixture by whisking softened cream cheese with sugar, vanilla extract, and delicate lemon zest until silky smooth. Tenderly incorporate fresh blueberries, preserving their plump structure and vibrant essence.
- Position an egg roll wrapper on a pristine surface, orienting it diamond-shaped. Centralize a generous dollop of the blueberry cream cheese blend. Envelope the filling by folding the bottom corner upward, then elegantly tuck the side edges inward, creating a compact parcel. Seal the final edge using a minimal water droplet to secure the wrapper’s edges.
- Elevate vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to precisely 350F. Carefully submerge egg rolls in small batches, rotating periodically to ensure uniform golden-bronze coloration. Maintain a cooking duration of 2-3 minutes until achieving a crisp, crackling exterior.
- Extract the golden parcels using a perforated spoon, transferring them onto absorbent paper towels to eliminate residual oil. Allow brief cooling moments before lavishly dusting with powdered sugar, creating an exquisite snow-like coating.
- Present these delectable treats while still warmly fragrant, offering a harmonious blend of creamy filling and crisp shell that promises an indulgent sensory experience.
Notes
- Choose ripe, fresh blueberries for the most vibrant and intense flavor in your egg rolls, ensuring each bite bursts with natural sweetness.
- Avoid overmixing the cream cheese filling to maintain a light, creamy texture that complements the crispy wrapper perfectly.
- Pat blueberries dry before folding into the mixture to prevent excess moisture from making the filling soggy or causing the wrappers to tear.
- For a gluten-free version, swap traditional egg roll wrappers with rice paper or gluten-free wonton wrappers, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
