Ingredients

• For the Blueberry Filling:
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 7 tablespoons water, divided
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• For the Cream Cheese Filling:
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
• ⅓ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• For the Egg Rolls:
• 12 egg roll wrappers
• 2+ cups vegetable oil, for frying
• ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting

Preparation Method

1. Combine 2 cups blueberries, ⅓ cup sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 5 tablespoons water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until blueberries burst.

2. Mix 2 tablespoons water with 3 tablespoons cornstarch in a bowl. Add to blueberry mixture, stirring constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and cool.

3. Beat 8 oz cream cheese in a bowl until smooth. Add ⅓ cup sugar, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix until creamy.

4. Lay out 12 egg roll wrappers on a surface. Place cream cheese mixture and blueberry filling in the center of each. Moisten edges, fold, and roll tightly.

5. Heat 2 cups vegetable oil in a skillet to 350°F. Test with a wrapper piece; it should sizzle.

6. Fry egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
