From my years baking professionally, I found that rolling technique makes all the difference. My old teacher always told me, 'When you roll them tight, they taste just right.'
Tasty Accompaniments
Enjoy these tasty rolls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, some warm blueberry sauce drizzled on top, or a dollop of fresh whipped cream. For fancy gatherings, try setting up a plate with different dips to try.
Fun Twists
Try swapping in other berries, sprinkle in some white chocolate pieces, or add a bit of lemon curd for extra tang. When fall comes around, you can stuff them with spiced apples or pears instead.
Keeping Them Fresh
If uncooked, put paper between each roll in the fridge. After frying, leave them out at room temp and warm them in the oven when you want that crunch back.
After making countless batches at home, I've learned these egg rolls hit that sweet spot between effort and reward. They've become my favorite thing to make when I want friends to try something different but totally delicious.

Frequently Asked Questions
→ Can I swap blueberries for other fruit?
Totally! Use raspberries, strawberries, or a berry medley. Chop bigger fruits to a similar size.
→ Why does the filling ooze out?
Seal those edges tight with egg wash and don’t overstuff. Stick to 2-3 tablespoons of filling.
→ Can I avoid frying them?
Absolutely! Try baking at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or air frying at 375°F for about 8-10 minutes. Add a little oil for a better finish.
→ How do I save extras?
Pop them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to make them crunchy again.
→ Can I prep them ahead of time?
For sure! Put them together up to a day in advance and stash in the fridge. Cook right before eating for the best taste.
Blueberry Cheese Rolls
Golden rolls packed with a creamy cheese filling and juicy bursts of blueberries. A fun, easy dessert for any special moment.
Blend the cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir the berries in gently at the end so you don’t mash them up.
Step 02
Lay an egg roll wrapper down in a diamond shape. Add 2-3 spoonfuls of filling in the middle. Fold the lower corner up over the filling, then tuck the sides inward. Roll tightly toward the top and seal up with the egg wash.
Step 03
Pour about 2 inches of frying oil into a deep pan, heating until 350°F. Check the temperature with a thermometer for accuracy.
Step 04
Drop 2-3 rolls into the heated oil at a time. Cook on each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove and set them on paper towels to cool.
Step 05
While still warm, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve alongside whipped cream, honey, or syrup if you’re feeling fancy.
Notes
Bake them at 400°F for 15-20 minutes if you want to cut back on frying.
An air fryer works like a charm at 375°F for about 8-10 minutes.
These can be prepped a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
