Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, gently toss the blueberries with lemon juice. If you are using frozen blueberries, mix in the cornstarch to help absorb moisture and prevent sogginess.
Assemble the Egg Rolls: Lay one egg roll wrapper flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center, then add a spoonful of the blueberry mixture on top. Brush the edges of the wrapper with the beaten egg, then carefully fold and roll the wrapper to seal, pressing the edges firmly with a fork to ensure they stay closed during frying.
Fry the Egg Rolls: Heat oil in a deep pan or fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches to avoid overcrowding, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and become crisp. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve: Dust the warm egg rolls with powdered sugar before serving for an added touch of sweetness. Serve immediately to enjoy the crispy texture and warm, creamy filling.

Notes

Use fresh blueberries for the best texture; if using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain excess liquid before mixing.
Be careful not to overfill the egg rolls to prevent bursting during frying.
Maintain oil temperature at 350°F to cook egg rolls evenly and avoid greasy results.
Serve immediately for optimal crispiness; reheated egg rolls may lose their crisp texture.
You can substitute cream cheese with a vegan alternative to make this recipe dairy-free.
