Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces softened cream cheese (full-fat preferred)
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Zest of one lemon
- Egg roll wrappers
- Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, or peanut oil)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling by combining softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest in a mixing bowl. Whisk or beat until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them. Set aside.
- Lay out egg roll wrappers on a clean surface. Have a small bowl of water nearby to seal the edges.
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large heavy-bottomed skillet to 350°F (175°C).
- Place about 2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides snugly, then roll up tightly. Seal the top corner with a dab of water.
- Fry the egg rolls seam-side down in batches for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Remove egg rolls and drain on a wire rack or paper towels. Let cool slightly before serving.
- Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
If the filling is too loose, chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes before wrapping to help it firm up. Use water to seal the edges of the wrappers to prevent filling leakage. Fry in small batches to maintain oil temperature. Let egg rolls drain on a wire rack to keep them crispy. Baking is possible but results in less crispiness. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
