🧾 Ingredients:

🫐 For the Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 (8 oz / 226g) package cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional, for brightness)

🥚 For the Rolls:

  • 10–12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 egg (beaten, for sealing the rolls)
  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

🍯 Optional Toppings:

  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Chocolate or berry sauce (for drizzling)
  • Whipped cream or ice cream (for serving)

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the Filling:

  • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries and lemon juice. Avoid overmixing to keep the berries mostly whole.

2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:

  • Lay one egg roll wrapper in a diamond shape.
  • Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the center.
  • Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the sides.
  • Brush the top corner with beaten egg and roll it up tightly to seal.
  • Repeat with remaining wrappers.

3. Fry the Egg Rolls:

  • Heat 2–3 inches of oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
  • Fry the rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy (about 2–3 minutes per batch).
  • Drain on paper towels.

4. Serve:

  • Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with sauce.
  • Serve warm for the best gooey experience!

🏺 History:

Egg rolls trace back to Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese-American restaurants, where savory fillings dominate. The dessert version is a modern American fusion—drawing inspiration from cheesecake and berry pastries. This version reimagines the concept by encasing a blueberry cheesecake-style filling in a crispy shell. It’s a fusion of East and West, crunch and cream.

🌿 Benefits:

  • Blueberries are rich in antioxidants, fiber, and vitamin C.
  • Cream cheese offers calcium and smooth texture.
  • Egg roll wrappers are low-fat and quick-cooking.
  • Portion control is easy—one roll per person can be satisfying.
  • Versatile—add strawberries, raspberries, or even Nutella!

🏗️ Formation (Customization Ideas):

  • Mini Rolls: Use smaller wrappers and less filling for bite-sized versions.
  • Baked Version: Brush with oil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes.
  • Air Fryer: Spray and cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
  • Dipping Sauce: Try lemon glaze, warm chocolate ganache, or vanilla custard.
