Something my bakery mentor used to remind me: rolls are only as happy as their seams. Keep things snug and you’re golden. Seriously, tight wrapping is everything.
Level Up Your Sweets
Scoop vanilla ice cream alongside, splash some warm blueberry sauce on top, or plop on some whipped cream. If you're feeling fancy, set out a board with different dips to mix it up.
Switch It Up
Try swapping in raspberries, toss in white chocolate bits, or drop a little lemon curd in for zing. For autumn, apples dusted with cinnamon or chunks of pear work great too.
Storing Know-How
Lay your uncooked rolls with parchment between so they don't stick. After they're fried, keep them at room temp and pop in the oven for that fresh crunch.
If you've tried a few versions like I have, you know these hit the sweet spot between effort and reward. They're now my secret for wowing friends with something both personal and so good you can't ignore it.

Recipe Questions & Answers
→ Can I use different berries?
Definitely! Toss in strawberries, raspberries, or anything similar in size. If your berries are big, chop them into smaller bits.
→ Why is my filling leaking?
Seal your rolls tight with some egg wash and don't stuff them too much. Two or three tablespoons per wrapper is just right.
→ Can I bake instead of fry?
Totally! Pop them in at 400°F for 15 to 20 minutes or air fry at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes. Brush a little oil on top for a better golden look.
→ How do I store leftovers?
Stash them in a container with a lid in your fridge for up to three days. Warm up in an oven or air fryer to bring back that crunch.
→ Can I make these ahead?
Yep, put them together a day before and stick in the fridge. Bake or fry right before eating for the best crunch.
Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
Cheesy filling and blueberries rolled up in crisp wrappers. Tastes like dessert and works for any moment you want something sweet.
Sprinkle powdered sugar while the egg rolls are still hot. Feel free to add honey, syrup, or a scoop of whipped cream on the side if that sounds good.
Step 02
Let your egg rolls sizzle in the oil for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Take them out when they've got a nice golden color and put them on paper towels to soak up any extra oil.
Step 03
Fill a deep pan with 2 inches of vegetable oil. Pop in your thermometer and wait until it gets to 350°F. Don't let it get too hot or too cold.
Step 04
Lay an egg roll wrapper like a diamond in front of you. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the filling right in the center. Fold the bottom up over the mix, tuck the sides in, then roll it all the way to the top. Use some of the beaten egg to close it up tight.
Step 05
Mix up your cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Then, gently tip in the blueberries and stir softly so they don’t burst.
Additional Notes
You can bake them for 15-20 minutes at 400°F if you want less oil
Toss them in your air fryer at 375°F for 8-10 minutes and they’ll crisp up nicely
Roll them up and stash them in the fridge up to a day early
