Ingredients You’ll Need

Cheesecake Filling

8 oz cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed)
1 tbsp lemon juice

Egg Roll Assembly

12 egg roll wrappers
1 tbsp water (for sealing)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola works best)

Optional Toppings

Powdered sugar
Blueberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Vanilla ice cream

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Filling

In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Gently fold in blueberries and lemon juice. Don’t overmix keep those berries whole!

2. Fill & Roll the Wrappers

Lay an egg roll wrapper flat like a diamond. Spoon 1.5 tbsp of filling near the bottom corner.
Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck it tight, then fold in the sides. Roll upward, sealing the top corner with a dab of water.

3. Fry to Golden Perfection

Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet to 350°F (medium heat). Fry 2-3 egg rolls at a time for 2-3 minutes per side until crispy. Drain on paper towels.

4. Serve Warm

Dust with powdered sugar, add a scoop of ice cream, or dunk in blueberry sauce.

Helpful Tips for Success

Keep wrappers moist: Cover unused ones with a damp towel to prevent cracking.
Don’t overfill: Too much filling = messy leaks. Stick to 1.5 tbsp per wrapper.
Oil temperature matters: Too hot = burnt rolls; too cool = greasy. Test with a breadcrumb it should sizzle gently.
Bake instead of fry: Brush rolls with oil and bake at 400°F for 15-18 minutes.

Recipe Notes

Berry swaps: Raspberries or blackberries work great too!
Make ahead: Prep rolls and refrigerate (unfried) for up to 24 hours.
Storage: Leftovers keep in the fridge for 2 days but lose crispiness. Reheat in an air fryer for 3 minutes.

FAQs

1. Can I use frozen blueberries?
Absolutely! Thaw them first and pat dry to avoid soggy filling.

2. What if I don’t have egg roll wrappers?
Spring roll wrappers are thinner but work in a pinch. Just handle them gently!

3. Can I make these gluten-free?
Yep! Use gluten-free wrappers and check that your cream cheese is GF.

Serving Suggestions

Pair these egg rolls with:

A scoop of vanilla ice cream (melty + crispy = heaven).
A drizzle of honey or chocolate syrup.
A hot cup of coffee for a cozy dessert combo.

Customize Your Egg Rolls

Get creative with these add-ins:

Chocolate lovers: Mix mini chocolate chips into the filling.
Nutty crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans before rolling.
Zesty twist: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the filling.

Why This Recipe Works

The magic here is all about balance. Tart blueberries cut through the rich cream cheese, while the fried wrapper adds a satisfying crunch. It’s a fun mash-up of textures and flavors that feels fancy without the fuss. Plus, it’s a great way to use up leftover berries!
