Directions

1. Prepare the Blueberry Filling
   • In a saucepan over medium heat, cook the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and part of the water. Stir occasionally until the blueberries burst.

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls
   • Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface.
   • Spread a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture in the center, then add a spoonful of the cooled blueberry filling on top.
   • Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold the sides inward, and roll tightly to seal. Repeat for all wrappers.
4. Fry the Egg Rolls
   • In a deep pan, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
   • Carefully place the egg rolls in the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Remove and drain on paper towels.

FAQs

How do I prevent my egg rolls from getting soggy?

Let the filling cool completely before assembling and avoid overfilling to prevent excess moisture.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes! Just thaw them first and drain excess liquid before cooking.

Can I bake these instead of frying?

Yes, bake at 375°F for about 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the egg rolls and store them in the fridge for up to a day before frying.

Can I freeze these egg rolls?

What dipping sauce pairs well with these?

Vanilla glaze, caramel sauce, or a simple whipped cream make great dipping options.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Why did my egg rolls burst open?

They may have been overfilled, or the oil temperature was too low, causing them to absorb too much oil.

Can I use other fruit fillings?

Absolutely! Try strawberries, peaches, or apples for a fun twist.

How do I make them less sweet?

Reduce the sugar in both the cream cheese and blueberry filling to taste.
