With their rich, tangy cream cheese filling and fruity blueberry topping, they offer a comforting and flavorful bite that’s sure to please any crowd.
Ingredients:
For the Rolls:
- 1 package (16 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberry preserves or blueberry pie filling
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for extra flavor)
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. If using lemon zest, stir it in.
- Assemble Rolls:
- Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Press the seams together to form a rectangle.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Spoon the blueberry preserves or pie filling evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough into a log. Slice the roll into 12 equal pieces and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and cooked through.
- Prepare Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
- Glaze Rolls: Once the rolls are cool enough to handle, drizzle the glaze over the tops of the rolls.
- Serve: Enjoy the blueberry cheesecake rolls warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Fruit Variations: You can substitute blueberry preserves with other fruit preserves or pie fillings like raspberry or strawberry if preferred.
- Make-Ahead: You can prepare the rolls ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just slice them and bake as directed when ready to serve.
- Glaze Consistency: For a thicker glaze, use less milk. For a thinner glaze, add a bit more milk.
- Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling. If it’s too cold, it may be lumpy.
Enjoy your delicious and creamy Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls!
