Craving a cheesecake or blueberry pie but don’t want the hassle? These Blueberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls are the perfect solution! With all the flavors of a blueberry cheesecake wrapped in a crispy egg roll wrapper, they’re easy to make and even easier to enjoy. Cooked in an air fryer, these treats are quick to prepare and deliver a delightful crunch with a creamy filling.
What Are Blueberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls?
Blueberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls are a sweet twist on traditional egg rolls, using egg roll wrappers filled with a rich cheesecake mixture and fresh blueberries. Unlike other recipes that require making a blueberry sauce, this version simplifies the process by folding fresh blueberries directly into the cheesecake mixture. The result is a burst of fresh blueberry flavor in every bite!
Can I Use Frozen Blueberries?
Yes! While fresh blueberries are ideal, especially when in season, frozen blueberries will work too. Just make sure to thaw them before adding them to the cream cheese mixture. Alternatively, you can also use blueberry pie filling for an extra sweet variation.
How to Fold Egg Rolls
Properly folding your egg rolls is key to keeping the cheesecake filling intact. Follow these steps for a perfect fold:
- Bottom Fold: Start by folding the bottom corner of the egg roll wrapper over the filling. Press down to seal.
- Side Folds: Next, fold the right and left corners toward the center, pressing lightly to seal. Wet the edges with water if needed to help them stick.
- Final Roll: Finally, roll the egg roll tightly from the bottom to the top, fully enclosing the filling. Press to seal the top edge.
How to Serve Blueberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls
After air frying, sprinkle some confectioners’ sugar on top for added sweetness. For a special treat, serve the egg rolls with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. These delicious egg rolls will disappear quickly, so make sure to grab one before they’re gone!
Storing Blueberry Cheesecake Egg Rolls
You can store these egg rolls in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat them in the air fryer to maintain their crispiness.
For longer storage, freeze the egg rolls after they’ve cooled completely. Store them in freezer-safe containers for up to a month. When ready to enjoy, reheat in the air fryer until crispy and warm.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces (230 g) cream cheese, room temperature
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 cups (450 g) fresh blueberries
- 12 egg roll wrappers

Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice. Beat with a hand mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Lay out the egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface. Working one wrapper at a time, place 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center.

- Spray or brush the outside of the egg roll with cooking oil.
- Air fry the egg rolls at 400°F (200°C) for 4-5 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
