Ingredients

For the Blueberry Filling:

• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice (divided)
• 7 tablespoons water (divided)
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• Remaining lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly & Frying:

• 12 egg roll wrappers
• 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Ingredient Swaps & Notes

• Frozen blueberries work too. No need to thaw — just cook a bit longer.
• No fresh lemon? Bottled juice works, but fresh adds brightness.
• Air fryer option: Spray with oil and cook at 375°F for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Baked version: Brush with oil and bake at 400°F for 12–15 minutes until golden.

Make sure the blueberry mixture cools completely before assembling — warm filling can make wrappers soggy.

How to Make Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls

1. Make the Blueberry Compote

In a saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons water. Cook over medium heat until berries burst and release their juices.

Mix remaining water with cornstarch and stir into the blueberry mixture. Cook until thickened. Remove from heat and cool completely.

2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

Beat cream cheese, sugar, remaining lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.

3. Assemble the Egg Rolls

Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface in a diamond shape. Add a spoonful of cream cheese filling and a spoonful of cooled blueberry filling in the center.

Moisten edges with water, fold in the sides, and roll tightly to seal.

4. Fry to Golden Perfection

Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Fry egg rolls in batches for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.

Drain on paper towels.

5. Finish & Serve

Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Tips for Success

• Seal edges tightly to prevent filling from leaking.
• Do not overcrowd the pan when frying.
• Maintain oil temperature around 350°F for even browning.
• Let the filling cool fully before assembling.

For extra indulgence, serve with a side of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

Storage & Leftover Tips

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Reheat: Air fry or bake at 350°F for 5–7 minutes to restore crispiness.
• Freezing: Freeze assembled, unfried egg rolls for up to 2 months. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes.

Avoid microwaving if possible — it softens the crispy wrapper.
