Description

Crispy fried egg rolls filled with a sweet and tangy blueberry and cream cheese mixture, dusted with powdered sugar for a delightful dessert treat.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Blueberry Filling:
2 cups fresh blueberries
⅓ cup sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
7 tablespoons water, divided
3 tablespoons cornstarch
For the Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
⅓ cup sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
For Assembly:
12 egg roll wrappers
2+ cups vegetable oil, for frying
¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Step 1: To make the blueberry filling, combine blueberries, sugar, 3 tablespoons of water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Step 2: Stir and cook until the blueberries have burst, which takes about 3-4 minutes after the mixture comes to a boil.
  3. Step 3: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 4 tablespoons of water with the cornstarch until combined, then add it to the blueberry mixture in the saucepan.
  4. Step 4: Continue stirring the blueberry mixture constantly until it has thickened. Remove it from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
  5. Step 5: To make the cream cheese filling, beat the room temperature cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until it’s fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice to the cream cheese and beat for an additional 2 minutes until smooth.
  7. Step 7: To assemble, lay an egg roll wrapper flat. Spread a couple of tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then top it with a heaping spoonful of the cooled blueberry filling.
  8. Step 8: Moisten the edges of the wrapper by dabbing them with water. Tightly fold the sides in over the filling, then roll the front edge up and over to seal the egg roll.
  9. Step 9: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or deep fryer to 375°F over medium heat.
  10. Step 10: Carefully place a few egg rolls at a time into the hot oil. Fry for a few minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  11. Step 11: Remove the cooked egg rolls from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  12. Step 12: Just before serving, dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar.
