# Ingredients:

03 - 7 tablespoons water, split
04 - 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
05 - 2 cups blueberries, fresh

→ For Assembly

10 - About 2 cups frying oil, like vegetable
11 - A dozen egg roll sheets
12 - ¼ cup powdered sugar for sprinkling

# Directions:

01 - In a pan over medium, combine blueberries, sweetener, lemon juice, and 4 tablespoons of water. Once the berries pop, mix cornstarch with the leftover water and stir it in. Keep stirring until it thickens. Cool it down fully.
02 - Using a mixer, whip cream cheese with sugar, a splash of vanilla, and lemon juice. Blend everything until it's silky smooth.
03 - Spoon 1 tablespoon each of blueberry and cream mixtures onto an egg roll wrapper. Roll it up snugly, sealing it with a bit of water.
04 - Heat the oil to 350°F in a deep pan. Carefully fry the rolls for about 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Let them rest on paper towels.
05 - Sprinkle powdered sugar all over and eat them while they're still warm.

# Notes:

01 - Allow the blueberry mix to cool entirely before putting it in wrappers.
02 - Fry with oil held steady at 350°F for the best crunch.
