Baked blueberry cream cheese egg rolls are a delightful treat that combines the flaky texture of traditional egg rolls with a sweet, gooey filling. This recipe is perfect for those who love a little twist on classic desserts. It’s a great way to use fresh blueberries, especially during the summer when they’re in season. These egg rolls are a hit at family gatherings and are sure to impress your friends with their golden, crispy exterior and creamy, fruity center.
These egg rolls are best enjoyed warm, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side. For a more indulgent experience, drizzle some warm chocolate or caramel sauce over the top. They also pair beautifully with a cup of hot coffee or a refreshing glass of iced tea, making them a versatile dessert for any occasion.
Baked Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls
Servings: 8
Ingredients
1 cup fresh blueberries
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon lemon juice
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 egg roll wrappers
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar for dusting
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Cook until the mixture thickens and the blueberries start to burst, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the vanilla extract until smooth.
Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface and spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center. Top with a spoonful of the blueberry mixture.
Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly. Brush the edges with the beaten egg to seal.
Place the egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with more egg wash.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Allow to cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a different flavor, try using raspberries or strawberries instead of blueberries. If you have picky eaters who aren’t fans of fruit, you can fill the egg rolls with just the cream cheese mixture and add a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar for a sweet twist. For a more decadent version, add a few chocolate chips to the filling. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought blueberry pie filling instead of making your own.
