Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Egg Roll Wrappers: Opt for fresh wrappers found in the refrigerated section for the best results.
- Cream Cheese: Soften it at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing with other ingredients.
- Fresh Blueberries: Choose plump berries for maximum sweetness; frozen berries work too if fresh isn’t available.
- Sugar: Adjust to taste; feel free to use brown sugar for added depth.
- Cinnamon: Just a pinch elevates the flavor profile beautifully.
- Vegetable Oil: For frying; choose an oil with a high smoke point like canola or peanut oil.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Gently fold in fresh blueberries and cinnamon until well mixed.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry mixture onto the center of each wrapper.
Roll It Up!: Fold up the bottom corner over the filling and then fold in both sides. Moisten the top corner with water and roll tightly to seal.
Heat Your Oil: In a large pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. You can test it by dropping in a small piece of wrapper; it should sizzle immediately.
Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place 3-4 egg rolls into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Dust & Serve!: Remove from oil and let drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Now that you’ve mastered making these scrumptious treats, get ready to impress your friends and family! Enjoy every crunchy bite filled with warm blueberry goodness!
