📝 Ingredients (Makes 8 Rolls):
1 package crescent roll dough (8 rolls) 🥐
8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
⅓ cup powdered sugar 🍬
1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
1 tbsp lemon juice 🍋
Zest of 1 lemon 🍋
½ cup fresh blueberries 🫐
2 tbsp butter, melted 🧈
1 tbsp granulated sugar (for topping) 🍚
📝 Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prep:
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface and separate the dough into triangles. Be sure to follow the perforated lines so you have 8 individual triangles.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
Mix the cream cheese filling: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add flavor: Stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat until fully combined, and you have a smooth, creamy filling.
Fold in the blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to mash them, so you have little pockets of juicy blueberry goodness in every roll.
3. Assemble the Rolls:
Add the filling: Take a spoonful of the cheesecake filling and place it in the center of each crescent roll triangle. Be careful not to overfill, as you’ll need to roll them up tightly.
Roll the dough: Starting from the wider end of the triangle, carefully roll up the dough, enclosing the cheesecake filling inside. Pinch the edges to seal the roll and prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
4. Bake the Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls:
Brush with butter: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter for extra golden-brown crispiness.
Top with sugar: Sprinkle the granulated sugar over the top of the rolls for a slightly sweet, crunchy finish.
Bake: Place the rolls in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the edges are crisp.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
Cool slightly: Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm: These rolls are best served warm, with the cheesecake filling nice and gooey inside. Serve them with an extra drizzle of lemon glaze, if desired, or enjoy them as is!
🍋 Optional Lemon Glaze:
For an extra layer of sweetness, drizzle these rolls with a simple lemon glaze. To make it, combine 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Stir until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled rolls before serving.
🌟 Pro Tips for Perfect Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls:
Frozen blueberries: If fresh blueberries aren’t available, frozen blueberries will work just fine. Just be sure to thaw and drain them before folding them into the cheesecake mixture to avoid excess moisture.
Lemon zest: Don’t skip the lemon zest – it adds a burst of citrusy freshness that perfectly complements the creamy filling and juicy blueberries.
Make ahead: You can prepare the rolls the night before by assembling them and then covering them tightly in the fridge. In the morning, just pop them in the oven for a freshly baked treat!
Make it dairy-free: For a dairy-free version, swap the cream cheese for a dairy-free cream cheese alternative and use non-dairy butter.
