Make the Blueberry Filling:

- Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Assemble the Egg Rolls:
- Lay an egg roll wrapper on a clean surface with one corner pointing towards you.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling diagonally across the center of the wrapper.
- Add about 1 tablespoon of the blueberry filling on top of the cream cheese.
- Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
- Fold the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the side corners, and roll up tightly, sealing the top corner with a bit of water.
- Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Fry the Egg Rolls:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the egg rolls in batches, turning occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Remove the egg rolls from the oil and drain on paper towels.
