Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls

Jump to Recipe

Memories of a Sweet Twist
I recall my first time experimenting with fruit in egg rolls rather than a savory filling. I had a craving for something sweet, but I wanted a lighter treat. I placed a blend of fresh blueberries and a low fat cream cheese mix inside egg roll wrappers. After a short bake, I bit into a crispy outside and a creamy, fruity inside. It felt like a small indulgence, but it fit into a healthier approach. Since that day, these blueberry cream cheese egg rolls have been a reliable pick for gatherings or a quick dessert. The recipe uses lighter ingredients, so you can enjoy a sweet treat without feeling weighed down.

Step by Step Directions

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

Place low fat cream cheese in a bowl. Let it soften at room temperature for easier mixing. Stir in Greek yogurt for extra creaminess and protein. Add your preferred sweetener, like a sugar free syrup or a touch of honey. Mix until everything becomes smooth. If you want a burst of flavor, you can stir in a drop of vanilla extract.

2. Add the Blueberries

Rinse fresh blueberries under cool water. Pat them dry so they do not bring extra moisture to the filling. Gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture. Avoid crushing them so you keep a pop of fruit in each bite.

3. Fill the Wrappers

Lay an egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon a small amount of the blueberry cream cheese mixture into the center. Fold the two side corners inward, then roll the wrapper from bottom to top. Brush a bit of beaten egg or water along the top edge to seal. This step helps the roll stay together during baking. Repeat until you use all the filling.

4. Lightly Brush and Bake

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange the egg rolls seam side down. Lightly brush or spray them with oil. This step creates a golden finish. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they appear crisp and lightly browned. Check them around the 10 minute mark so they do not overbake.

5. Cool and Enjoy

Remove the tray from the oven and let the egg rolls cool for a few minutes. The filling stays hot, so allow enough time to avoid burning your mouth. Serve them on a plate or cutting board. You can dust them with a little powdered sugar substitute if you like a sweet touch.

Tips for Maximum Freshness

Enjoy these egg rolls while they are warm. If you have leftovers, place them in a container with a tight lid and store them in the fridge. Warm them briefly in a toaster oven for a crisp texture. You can also freeze them for up to a month. Thaw them in the fridge before reheating so they do not become soggy.

Personal Flavor Tweaks

You can stir a little lemon zest into the cream cheese mix for a bright note. If you want a richer taste, you can try a small handful of dark chocolate chips. You might also experiment with different berries, such as raspberries or chopped strawberries.

Pairing Suggestions

These sweet egg rolls pair well with a cup of herbal tea or black coffee. For a balanced brunch, serve them with a side of fresh fruit salad or a veggie omelet. If you want a more decadent feel, dip them in a light yogurt sauce sweetened with a bit of honey or sugar free sweetener.
