Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries
- 8–10 egg roll wrappers
Secondary Ingredients:
- ¼ cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
Serving Ingredients:
- Powdered sugar
- Vegetable oil
- Honey (optional)
- Maple syrup (optional)
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- In a spacious mixing vessel, whip the cream cheese until velvety, gradually incorporating sugar and vanilla extract. Tenderly integrate blueberries, ensuring minimal disruption to their delicate structure while maintaining even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Position an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a pristine work surface. Carefully deposit a measured portion of the blueberry-infused cream cheese filling near the bottom point of the diamond. Meticulously fold the lower triangle over the filling, tucking edges inward with precision. Compress the wrapper into a compact cylinder, sealing the final edge with a light egg wash to secure the parcel.
- Select a robust, heavy-bottomed pan and fill with vegetable oil to a depth sufficient for submerging the egg rolls. Heat the oil gradually, monitoring the temperature with a reliable culinary thermometer until it reaches the optimal frying point.
- Gently introduce the prepared rolls into the shimmering oil, working in small batches to maintain consistent temperature. Allow each side to transform into a golden, crisp exterior, rotating carefully to ensure uniform browning. Utilize a perforated utensil to extract the rolls, transferring them to an absorbent paper-lined surface.
- While still radiating warmth, dust the crisp parcels with a delicate veil of powdered sugar. Accompany with complementary accompaniments such as honey, maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent finishing touch.
Notes
- Gently handle blueberries during mixing to prevent crushing, maintaining their whole shape and burst of flavor in each bite.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly with sugar and vanilla.
- Seal egg roll wrappers completely to prevent filling leakage during frying, ensuring a crispy exterior and creamy interior.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350F to achieve golden-brown, evenly cooked egg rolls without absorbing excess oil.
