FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

You can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw and drain any excess liquid to prevent the dough from becoming soggy.

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the rolls and keep them refrigerated for a few hours before baking. Just add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

Ingredients

Scale

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Dough and Fruit

  • 1 (8 oz) tube of crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
  • 2/3 cup fresh blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for baking the rolls.
  2. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and fluffy.
  3. Separate Crescent Dough: Open the crescent roll tube and separate the dough into 8 individual triangles along the perforated seams. Place each triangle on a clean, flat surface with the wide end facing you.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Spread about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture over the bottom third of each dough triangle. Then, evenly layer two rows of fresh blueberries over the cream cheese.
  5. Roll the Dough: Starting at the wide end closest to you, carefully roll the dough forward toward the pointed tip, encasing the blueberry and cream cheese filling inside.
  6. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the rolled crescents onto a baking sheet, ensuring the seam is underneath to prevent unrolling during baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the rolls turn golden brown and the filling is set.
  8. Serve Warm: Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving these warm, soft, and tangy blueberry cheesecake rolls.
