These egg rolls are perfect for busy moms needing a crowd-pleaser or for those cozy nights in when you just want to treat yourself. Plus, they take minimal prep time—because who has time for complicated recipes? Let’s get started!
Ingredients
Before we roll up our sleeves, let’s gather our ingredients:
- 1 package of egg roll wrappers
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, if that’s your jam)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (because sweetness is life)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vegetable oil (for frying, or you can go with baking if you’re feeling healthier!)
- A sprinkling of powdered sugar for dusting (because presentation matters, friends!)
Steps to Delightful Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
1. Make the Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine that luscious cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth, and then fold in those beautiful blueberries. It’s a simple process, but the results? Absolutely scrumptious!
2. Assemble the Egg Rolls:
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of your blueberry mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water (this helps to seal your delicious package). Fold the bottom corner over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll it up tightly—think of it as tucking in your favorite blanket on a chilly night. Repeat this process until all the filling is gone—you’ll be tempted to taste as you go!
3. Cook Them Up:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Gently place the egg rolls in the hot oil (about 3-4 at a time) and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn a delightful golden brown. If frying isn’t your thing, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake them for about 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
4. Dust and Serve:
Once they’re cooked to perfection, transfer the egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Lightly dust them with powdered sugar (because why not?) and serve warm. Perhaps with a side of vanilla ice cream or a fruit dip for dipping? The choice is yours!
Cooking Tips
- Don’t Rush the Frying: Keep the oil at a consistent temperature to avoid sogginess. If it’s too hot, your rolls will brown quickly but remain uncooked inside. We all want that perfect crunch!
- Make-Ahead Magic: You can assemble these and store them in the fridge for up to a day before frying. Perfect for those last-minute guests!
- Get Creative: Feel free to experiment with different fruits like strawberries or peaches if blueberries aren’t available. No fruit left behind!

FAQs
Can I substitute the cream cheese?
Absolutely! Greek yogurt can work well if you want a lighter option, though the texture will be slightly different.
How can I store leftovers?
Store any leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just reheat in the oven for that crispy goodness again!
Can I freeze these?
You bet! After assembly, freeze them on a baking sheet, and then transfer to a freezer bag. Fry from frozen, just add a little extra time.
