Ingredients
To bring this delightful dish to life, you’ll need the following ingredients, each selected to bring out the best in the flavors:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8-10 egg roll wrappers
- Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions
Ready to create this delicious treat? Follow these simple steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture.
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface, and place about 2 tablespoons of the blueberry cream cheese mixture in the center.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Use a bit of water to seal the edges.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the egg rolls in the oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Pro tip: Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the egg rolls, as this will ensure they turn out perfectly crispy.
