Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 10 egg roll wrappers
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cooking Ingredient:
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Whip the filling by blending cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until velvety and uniform, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Delicately incorporate whole blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining their structural integrity to prevent mashing.
- Position an egg roll wrapper diagonally on a clean surface, creating a diamond shape for optimal wrapping technique.
- Centralize a modest portion of the cream cheese and blueberry blend precisely in the wrapper’s middle section.
- Execute a precise folding technique: lift the bottom point over the filling, compress sides inward, and roll tightly, utilizing water as an adhesive to seal the edges securely.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to an optimal temperature, creating a consistent cooking environment around 350°F.
- Gently submerge egg rolls into the hot oil, introducing them in small batches to maintain temperature stability.
- Rotate egg rolls periodically, achieving a uniform golden-brown exterior with a crisp texture, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer fried egg rolls onto absorbent paper towels to eliminate excess oil and preserve crunchiness.
- Craft a vibrant blueberry sauce by combining berries, sugar, and water in a saucepan, bringing the mixture to a vigorous boil.
- Integrate cornstarch to thicken the sauce, stirring continuously until the consistency transforms into a glossy, rich compote.
- Allow the sauce to cool slightly, enhancing its structural integrity.
- Garnish the egg rolls with a delicate dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
- Present the crisp egg rolls accompanied by the luscious blueberry sauce and a cloud-like dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- Carefully incorporate blueberries into cream cheese mixture to prevent crushing, maintaining whole fruit texture and visual appeal.
- Use a cooking thermometer to ensure consistent 350°F for perfectly crispy, golden-brown egg rolls without burning.
- Moisten wrapper edges with water and press firmly to prevent filling leakage during frying, creating a tight seal.
- Substitute regular cream cheese with low-fat or dairy-free alternatives, and use gluten-free wrappers for health-conscious variations.
