🧾 A Bit of History & Love

While egg rolls originate from East Asian cuisine, creative cooks in the West began using the crispy wrappers to house sweet fillings in the early 2000s. Cheesecake egg rolls quickly became a sensation at food trucks and state fairs. Adding fruit—especially blueberries—elevated the flavor and gave the dessert an artisan feel.

This dessert is a love letter to anyone who adores blueberry pie, cheesecake, and the crackle of a deep-fried treat all rolled into one. 💙

🍽️ Ingredients:

For the Blueberry Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (can substitute frozen, thawed & drained)
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional but adds brightness)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (for thickening)

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

  • 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly:

  • 12–14 egg roll wrappers
  • Small bowl of water (to seal edges)
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

Optional Toppings:

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Vanilla glaze or chocolate drizzle

🛠️ Method:

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and zest.
  2. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until the blueberries release their juices.
  3. Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and cook for 1–2 minutes more, until thickened.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Chill slightly for easier handling.

Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls

  1. Lay one egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture across the center.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of blueberry filling on top.
  4. Fold in the sides, then roll up tightly, sealing the edge with water.
  5. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

Step 4: Fry the Egg Rolls

  1. Heat oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry egg rolls in batches (don’t overcrowd) for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  3. Remove with tongs and drain on paper towels.

Step 5: Final Touches

  1. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with vanilla glaze or melted white chocolate.
  2. Serve warm for best results—though they’re delicious even cold!
