Elegant Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls 🥮

 

Ingredients:  

- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened  

- 1 cup fresh blueberries  

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar  

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract  

- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest  

- 12 egg roll wrappers  

- 1 tablespoon water (for sealing)  

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying, if not baking)  

Directions:  

1. In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese,

granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until

smooth. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.  

2. Lay out an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with

one corner pointing towards you. Place about 2

tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of

the wrapper.  

3. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the

side corners, and roll it up tightly. Seal the edge with a bit

of water. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. 

4. To fry: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat

and fry the egg rolls for 2-3 minutes per side until golden

brown. To bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), place

egg rolls on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake for

15-20 minutes, flipping halfway.  

5. Let the egg rolls cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips:  

- For a healthier version, substitute fresh blueberries with

frozen ones or add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the filling

for extra flavor.  

- Try baking instead of frying for a lighter texture, and

serve with a side of powdered sugar or a raspberry sauce

for dipping.  

- Enhance the recipe by adding chopped nuts like

almonds to the cream cheese mixture for added crunch
