Ingredients
Egg roll wrappers
8 (none)
Cream cheese
8 ounces (softened)
Sugar
3/4 cup (none)
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon (none)
Blueberries
40 (fresh or frozen (about 2/3 cup))
Oil
for frying (enough to deep fry)
Instructions
1
Start by letting the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, in a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix well until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
2
After mixing, place the cream cheese mixture in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilling the mixture will make it firmer and easier to handle when filling the egg roll wrappers.
3
While the filling chills, heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer to keep the oil at the right temperature, ensuring a crispy exterior.
4
Prepare your egg roll wrappers by laying one on a clean, flat surface in a diamond shape (one corner facing you). Take 1/8 of the chilled cream cheese filling and spread it in a rectangle across the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving space on the sides to fold in the corners.
5
Place 4-5 blueberries on top of the cream cheese filling. Be careful not to overfill the rolls to avoid leakage during frying.
6
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the side corners towards the center. Press gently to seal the edges, then roll the wrapper away from you to form the egg roll. Moisten the top corner with a dab of water to secure the roll closed.
7
Carefully place 3-4 rolls in the hot oil without crowding. Fry for about 1 minute on one side until they turn golden, then flip them over and fry for an additional 30 seconds. Keep an eye on them to prevent the filling from becoming too liquid.
8
Once fried, transfer the rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Immediately dust with powdered sugar while they’re still warm and allow them to rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. These rolls are best enjoyed while warm and can be messy, so consider serving them with forks or on plates.
