Blueberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls
Main Ingredients:
- 15 egg roll wrappers
- 1 block (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup blueberries, fresh or thawed frozen
Filling Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Jam and Thickening Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Create a vibrant blueberry jam by gently simmering fresh blueberries with sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla in a saucepan for 10-12 minutes until berries soften and release their juices.
- Thicken the jam by whisking cornstarch with water, then stirring into the fruit mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the consistency becomes glossy and jam-like. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Prepare the creamy filling by whipping cream cheese until smooth, then gradually incorporating sweetened condensed milk and powdered sugar. Mix until the texture is silky and well-blended.
- Lay egg roll wrappers diagonally on a clean surface. Spoon a precise line of cream cheese mixture near the bottom corner, followed by a ribbon of cooled blueberry jam.
- Fold the bottom point over the filling, tuck in side edges, then roll tightly upward. Seal the final edge using beaten egg as adhesive.
- Heat vegetable oil to 350°F in a deep skillet or fryer. Carefully submerge egg rolls in hot oil, frying 2-3 at a time until golden brown and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per batch.
- Transfer fried egg rolls to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Dust generously with powdered sugar just before serving for a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Choose ripe, plump blueberries for the most intense and sweet jam flavor.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to create a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Seal egg roll wrappers tightly to prevent filling from leaking during frying.
- Keep oil temperature consistent at 350-375°F for even, golden-brown crispiness.
