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.

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.
