Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, thaw and drain)
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water (for thickening)
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
¼ cup (30g) powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Egg Rolls:

12 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for sealing)
Vegetable oil (for frying) or cooking spray (for air-frying/baking)

For Topping (Optional):

Powdered sugar, for dusting
Honey or vanilla glaze, for drizzling

Instructions

Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, cook blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice until berries soften (5–7 minutes). Stir in cornstarch mixture to thicken. Let cool completely.
Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay out an egg roll wrapper. Spread a small amount of cream cheese mixture, then add blueberry filling. Roll tightly, folding in the sides. Seal the edge with beaten egg.
Choose Cooking Method:

Deep-Fry: Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry rolls for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
Air-Fry: Preheat to 375°F (190°C), spray rolls with oil, and cook for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), brush rolls with melted butter, and bake for 12–15 minutes, flipping once.
Serve: Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Cool the Filling Before Assembling – Warm blueberry filling can make the egg roll wrappers soggy, making them harder to roll and seal properly. Let it cool completely before assembling.
Seal the Edges Well to Prevent Leaks – Use a beaten egg or a little water to seal the edges of the wrappers securely. This prevents the filling from leaking out during frying, baking, or air-frying.
Monitor Cooking Temperature for the Best Texture – If deep-frying, keep the oil at 350°F (175°C) to ensure a crispy, golden shell without absorbing excess oil. If air-frying or baking, flipping halfway ensures even crispiness.
