Ingredients Overview:
- Cream Cheese: Adds creaminess and tanginess to the filling, creating a cheesecake-like flavor.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the flavor of the cream cheese filling with its sweet and aromatic notes.
- Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the filling and helps to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Crescent Roll Dough: Provides a flaky and buttery pastry shell for the filling, creating a perfect vessel for the creamy cheesecake and juicy blueberries.
- Fresh Blueberries: Add a burst of fruity sweetness and vibrant color to the rolls, complementing the creamy cheesecake filling.
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Assemble the Rolls: Separate the crescent roll dough into 8 triangles along the perforated seams. Place a triangle of dough on a clean, flat surface, with the short, wide end facing you. Spread a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture across the bottom third of the dough triangle. Top the cream cheese with two rows of fresh blueberries.
- Roll Up the Dough: Starting from the end closest to you, roll the dough forward, enclosing the cream cheese and blueberries, until you reach the tip of the triangle. Repeat with the remaining dough triangles and filling.
- Bake the Rolls: Place the assembled rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-13 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
- Serve Warm: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delicious blueberry cheesecake rolls warm for breakfast, brunch, or dessert!
Recipe Tips:
- Variations: Feel free to customize these rolls by adding your favorite toppings or fillings, such as lemon zest, cinnamon sugar, or chopped nuts.
- Storage: These rolls are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are baked. However, you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can assemble the rolls ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to bake. Simply cover the assembled rolls tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Serve with Toppings: For an extra indulgent touch, serve these blueberry cheesecake rolls with a drizzle of warm honey, a dollop of whipped cream, or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top.
