Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements)

8 egg roll wrappers
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Vegetable oil, for frying
Optional: powdered sugar or honey for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Filling
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in blueberries.
Assemble the Egg Rolls
Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you (like a diamond). Place about 2 tablespoons of filling near the bottom corner. Fold bottom corner over filling, fold in the sides, then roll tightly towards the top corner. Seal the edge with a little water.
Heat the Oil
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
Fry the Egg Rolls
Carefully add egg rolls to hot oil in batches, frying for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
Serve
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey. Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.

Tips & Tricks

Make sure cream cheese is soft for easy mixing.
Don’t overfill egg rolls to prevent bursting while frying.
Use a thermometer to keep oil temperature steady for perfect crispiness.
Freeze un-fried egg rolls on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for easy make-ahead treats.
Try swapping blueberries for strawberries, raspberries, or diced apples with cinnamon.
