Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Egg Roll Wrappers: These thin sheets create the perfect crunchy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the creamy filling.
- Blueberries: Fresh or frozen blueberries work well; opt for plump berries bursting with flavor.
- Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing; it adds richness and creaminess to the filling.
- Sugar: Sweeten your filling perfectly; adjust based on your taste preference.
- Cooking Oil: Use vegetable or canola oil for frying; it ensures a crisp texture without overpowering flavors.
- Cinnamon (optional): A sprinkle adds warmth and depth to the filling; it’s like a cozy hug in every bite.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and blueberries. Mix until smooth and creamy while enjoying the sweet aroma wafting through your kitchen.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper diagonally on your workspace. Spoon some filling into the center and fold up the bottom corner over the filling. Tuck in the sides tightly.
Seal Them Up: Moisten the top corner of the wrapper with water to help seal it shut. Press firmly so they don’t burst during frying – we want crispy perfection here!
Heat Your Oil: In a deep pan or skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat until shimmering but not smoking – about 350°F (175°C) is ideal for frying.
Fry Those Rolls!: Carefully drop in a few egg rolls at a time, frying until they turn golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Keep an eye on them; nobody likes burnt treats!
Cool and Serve: Once golden brown, transfer them to paper towels to drain excess oil. Let them cool slightly before serving – trust me, patience is key here as they’ll be hot!
Enjoy these incredible Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls warm or at room temperature with powdered sugar dusted on top or a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
With each crispy bite filled with sweet blueberries and rich cream cheese, you’re bound to fall in love all over again!
