With the help of a cheesecloth, squeeze the grated carrot to remove as much liquid as possible. In a bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, set aside. In another bowl, mix the carrot and add the salt, butter, egg yolks, sugar, Rexal® baking powder, fresh cheese, and flour, mix until integrated. Gradually add the whipped egg whites in a folding motion until forming a pasty texture. Fill the tamale leaf with two large tablespoons of the mixture, add a strip of cheese of approximately 20 grams and a tablespoon of blueberries, close the tamale leaf and repeat the same process until finishing the dough. Once you finish wrapping, place the tamales in a steamer, cook over medium heat for 45 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool a bit and enjoy.
