Are you ready to indulge in a delightful treat that will surely impress? Look no further than these delicious Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls! Not only are they incredibly tasty, but they’re also surprisingly simple to make. Let’s dive in and discover the magic of these delectable treats!
When you think of egg rolls, dessert might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But trust me, these Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls are a game-changer! They have become one of our favorite go-to desserts that we enjoy making all the time. And if you have access to fresh blueberries, you can take the flavor of these egg rolls to a whole new level!
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries?
Fresh blueberries are definitely the best option for this recipe. While frozen blueberries can be used, they tend to release more liquid when cooked. If you choose to use frozen blueberries, simply reduce the amount of water added to the saucepan.
Exploring Flavor Variations
One of the best things about these simple egg roll desserts is that you can easily customize the flavors by swapping out the fruit. Try using fresh strawberries, blackberries, or raspberries instead of blueberries. The possibilities are endless! As long as you have a fruit that you love, you can use it in this dessert recipe.
While we absolutely love the fruity variations, let’s not overlook the fact that you can create other mouthwatering desserts using these egg rolls. Think outside the box and consider adding chocolate chips or a dollop of marshmallow fluff to the cream cheese filling. The options are endless, and it’s so much fun to experiment with different flavors.
You could even organize a bake-off in your kitchen and let everyone get creative with their own unique creations. It’s a great way to have fun, bond, and, most importantly, enjoy a wide variety of delicious treats!
The Perfect Texture
When it comes to the texture of these Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls, they strike the perfect balance between crunchy and chewy. But there’s one important tip to keep in mind: let them cool! As tempting as it may be to dive right in, giving the egg rolls a few minutes to cool down is essential. Once cooled, you’ll savor every bite without the risk of burning your mouth. Trust me, the wait will be totally worth it!

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
Other Ingredients
- 12 egg roll wrappers
- 2+ cups vegetable oil
- ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting
Blueberry Filling:
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the blueberries, sugar, 3 tablespoons of water, and lemon juice. Stir and cook until the blueberries burst, usually about 3-4 minutes after boiling.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining water and cornstarch until well combined. Add this mixture to the blueberry mixture.
- Continue stirring until the blueberry mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until fluffy, which takes about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
Assembling The Egg Rolls:
- Place a couple of tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of an egg roll wrapper. Top it with a heaping spoonful of the blueberry filling.
- Moisten your fingers with water and rub the water along the edges of the wrapper. This helps seal the egg roll closed.
- Fold in the sides tightly over the filling, then roll the front edge up and towards the back.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees.
- Add a few egg rolls to the pan at a time and cook for a few minutes per side or until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to cool.
- Just before serving, sprinkle the egg rolls with powdered sugar.
