Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Assembly Ingredients

  • 8–10 egg roll wrappers

For Frying

  • Butter or oil, enough for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, gently mix the softened cream cheese, fresh blueberries, sugar, and lemon zest until creamy but still textured with berry pieces to ensure bursts of flavor.
  2. Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper flat. Place about 2 tablespoons of the filling near one corner. Fold the side corners inward, then roll tightly toward the opposite corner. Seal the edges with a dab of water to keep the roll closed.
  3. Heat the Oil: Pour enough butter or oil into a pan or deep fryer to cover the egg rolls partially. Heat over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking to achieve the perfect frying temperature.
  4. Fry the Egg Rolls: Carefully place the egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry each side for approximately 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, turning as needed to cook evenly.
  5. Drain and Cool: Remove the cooked egg rolls and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Let them cool for a minute or two before serving to maintain their crispiness and ensure the filling sets slightly.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the egg rolls to prevent them from bursting while frying.
  • Seal the edges well using water or egg wash to keep the filling contained.
  • Maintain oil temperature to avoid soggy or burnt egg rolls—hot but not smoking is ideal.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor and texture, as frozen berries may release excess moisture.
  • Serve warm to enjoy the crunchy exterior and creamy interior at their best.
