Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your softened cream cheese, blueberries, sugar, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon. Mix until creamy, leaving some blueberry chunks for texture.

  3. Repeat until all filling is used.
Cooking

  2. Gently drop egg rolls in the hot oil, frying for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serving
  1. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with a side of dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

Don't worry if some egg rolls look rough; it adds to their charm. For a twist, consider adding lemon zest to the filling.
