Essential Ingredients

- Egg Roll Wrappers: Look for fresh wrappers in the refrigerated section; they ensure a crispy texture when fried.
- Fresh Blueberries: Choose plump blueberries without blemishes for the best flavor and sweetness.
- Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese to make mixing easier; it adds that rich and creamy texture you crave.
- Sugar: Granulated sugar enhances the sweetness of the filling and balances out the tanginess of cream cheese.
- Cinnamon: A sprinkle of cinnamon adds warmth and depth to the blueberry filling—don’t skimp on it!

Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, fresh blueberries, and cinnamon until smooth. The aroma should be heavenly as you blend everything together.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you. Spoon about two tablespoons of filling onto it and fold the corners over tightly. Wet edges with water to seal it properly.
Heat Up Oil: In a deep skillet or frying pan, pour in enough oil to cover about two inches deep. Heat over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking—around 350°F (175°C).
Fry Until Golden: Carefully place two or three filled egg rolls into the hot oil at a time. Fry until golden brown on all sides (about 2-3 minutes). Turn them occasionally so they cook evenly.
Drain Excess Oil: Once golden brown, remove egg rolls from oil using tongs or a slotted spoon. Place them on paper towels to drain excess oil while you finish frying remaining batches.
Add Finishing Touches: Dust finished egg rolls lightly with powdered sugar before serving. Pair them with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat!
With their crispy exterior and creamy interior bursting with blueberry goodness, these blue-tiful treats will surely become your new favorite dessert! Enjoy every bite while sharing smiles with friends and loved ones.
