Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries; both provide that sweet burst of flavor we crave.
Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened for easy mixing; it adds rich creaminess to our filling.
Egg Roll Wrappers: Find these in the refrigerated section; they are essential for wrapping up our goodies.
Sugar: A sprinkle is necessary to enhance the blueberries’ natural sweetness and add some crunch.
Cinnamon: A dash adds warmth and complements the blueberries beautifully.
Oil for Frying: Choose vegetable or canola oil for frying; it helps achieve that crispy exterior we all love.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it together

Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, fresh blueberries, sugar, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. This filling is basically happiness in a bowl.

Wrap it Up: Take an egg roll wrapper and place about two tablespoons of your blueberry filling in the center. Fold one corner over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly like a burrito—your tasty treasure awaits!

Heat the Oil: In a deep skillet or pot over medium heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom about half an inch high. Heat until shimmering but not smoking—this is critical for achieving that crunchy perfection.

Fry Until Golden Brown: Carefully place your wrapped egg rolls into the hot oil in batches so they don’t touch each other. Fry until golden brown on all sides—about 3-4 minutes per side should do it.

Drain & Serve!: Once browned perfectly, remove them from oil using tongs and let them drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar if you’re feeling fancy before serving warm!

This delightful experience is not just about food; it’s about creating memories around shared flavors!
