- 
â…“ cup sugar

For the Egg Rolls:

2+ cups vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Filling
- 
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine: - 
Blueberries 
- 
Sugar 
- 
3 tablespoons water 
- 
Lemon juice 
 
- 
- 
Stir and bring to a gentle boil, cooking for 3–4 minutes until the blueberries start to burst. 
- 
In a separate small bowl, mix remaining 4 tablespoons water with cornstarch until smooth. 
- 
Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the blueberry filling, stirring constantly. 
- 
Continue cooking for 1–2 minutes, until the mixture thickens. 
- 
Remove from heat and let cool completely. 
Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Filling
- 
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer for 2–3 minutes, until fluffy. 
- 
Add sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, then mix for another 2 minutes until smooth. 
Step 3: Assemble the Egg Rolls
- 
Lay one egg roll wrapper on a clean, dry surface in a diamond shape (one corner pointing toward you). 
- 
Place 2 tablespoons of cream cheese filling in the center of the wrapper. 
- 
Add a heaping spoonful of blueberry filling on top of the cream cheese. 
- 
Dip your finger in water and lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper (this helps seal the egg rolls). 
- 
Fold in the sides over the filling, then roll up tightly from the bottom to form a sealed egg roll. 
- 
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. 
Step 4: Fry the Egg Rolls
- 
Heat 2+ cups of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C). 
- 
Carefully place a few egg rolls at a time into the hot oil. 
- 
Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy. 
- 
Remove egg rolls and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. 
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
- 
While still warm, dust the egg rolls with powdered sugar. 
- 
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture! 
Notes
Fresh vs. frozen blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, reduce added water to 2 tablespoons to prevent excess moisture.
Making ahead: You can prepare the fillings up to 2 days in advance and store them in the fridge.
