Blueberry Cream Cheese Egg Rolls (Print Version)

Ingredients:

01 - 2 cups fresh blueberries.
02 - ⅓ cup sugar.
03 - 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
04 - 7 tablespoons water (divided).
05 - 3 tablespoons cornstarch.
06 - 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature.
07 - ⅓ cup sugar.
08 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
10 - 12 egg roll wrappers.
11 - 2+ cups vegetable oil (for frying).
12 - ¼ cup powdered sugar (for dusting).

Instructions:

01 - Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons of water in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the blueberries burst and release their juices.
02 - Mix the cornstarch with the remaining 3 tablespoons of water, then stir it into the blueberry mixture. Continue cooking until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
03 - Beat together softened cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
04 - Place an egg roll wrapper on a flat surface in a diamond shape. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling into the center, followed by 1 tablespoon of blueberry filling. Fold the bottom corner over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly, sealing the edges with water.
05 - Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the egg rolls in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
06 - Dust the fried egg rolls with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes:

01 - Tip: Serve the egg rolls immediately after frying for the crispiest texture.
