For the Egg Rolls:

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.
