Ingredients:
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- For the Rolls:
- 8 large egg roll wrappers
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Cooking spray or oil (for air fryer)
- For the Topping:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Optional: extra blueberries and mint leaves for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
2. Assemble the Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean, flat surface with one corner pointing towards you, forming a diamond shape.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling onto the lower third of the wrapper.
- Fold the bottom corner of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll up tightly, securing the top corner with a bit of beaten egg to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Prepare for Air Frying:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the rolls in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch. You may need to cook them in batches.
4. Cook the Rolls:
- Lightly brush or spray the rolls with cooking spray or oil.
- Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the rolls are golden brown and crispy.
5. Serve:
- Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes after cooking.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
- Optionally, garnish with extra blueberries and mint leaves for an added touch of freshness.
Tips for Success:
- Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
- Blueberries: Fresh blueberries work best, but if you use frozen, make sure they are fully thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture.
- Sealing the Rolls: Ensure the rolls are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking.
- Air Frying: Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.

The combination of creamy cheesecake filling and juicy blueberries wrapped in a crispy roll is simply irresistible.
