Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (150 grams) blueberries, fresh or frozen
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) sugar
- 2 tablespoons (15 grams) powdered sugar
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft a vibrant blueberry compote by simmering fresh blueberries with sugar, lemon zest, and juice over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until berries break down and release natural syrup. Allow mixture to cool completely.
- Whip softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until silky and uniform. Gently incorporate the cooled blueberry compote, creating a marbled filling with swirls of deep purple.
- Position egg roll wrapper diagonally on clean surface. Deposit a generous dollop of blueberry cream cheese mixture on lower third of wrapper, keeping edges clear for precise folding.
- Carefully fold bottom corner over filling, then fold side edges inward to create a secure envelope. Roll tightly from bottom, using beaten egg as adhesive to seal final edge.
- Warm vegetable oil in deep skillet to 350°F, ensuring consistent temperature for even cooking. Carefully lower prepared rolls into hot oil, frying 2-3 minutes per side until exterior transforms to crisp, golden-brown perfection.
- Transfer freshly fried rolls onto paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil, allowing them to cool slightly before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired for additional sweetness.
Notes
- Choose ripe, sweet blueberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness in your filling.
- Keep cream cheese at room temperature to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing and easier blending with other ingredients.
- Pat egg roll wrappers dry with paper towels before filling to prevent excess moisture and ensure crispy texture.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350F to achieve perfectly golden, crispy exterior without burning or undercooking.
- For a lighter version, consider baking rolls at 400F for 15-20 minutes, lightly brushed with olive oil for crispness.
- Replace cream cheese with coconut cream or cashew cream for similar texture and richness.
- Make filling ahead and refrigerate up to 2 days to develop deeper flavor and save preparation time.
