Ingredients:
1 package crescent roll dough
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 tbsp lemon zest
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Directions:
Preheat and Prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Prepare Dough: Unroll the crescent dough, pressing the seams together to form a flat sheet.
Prepare Filling: In a bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread Filling: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the dough.
Add Blueberries and Zest: Scatter the blueberries and sprinkle the lemon zest over the cream cheese layer.
Roll Up: Roll the dough into a log, starting from one end.
Slice and Arrange: Cut the log into 1-inch rounds and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and bubbly.
Dust with Powdered Sugar: Cool the rolls slightly, then dust with powdered sugar.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve the rolls warm and enjoy their sweet, tangy, and flaky goodness!
Serving Tips:
Warm is Best: Serve these rolls warm for the best flavor and texture. If they have cooled, gently reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes to restore their flakiness.
Pairing: These rolls pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee, tea, or even a glass of milk. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread or as a sweet treat after dinner.
Garnish: For extra flair, garnish with a few fresh blueberries or a light drizzle of lemon glaze. A dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream can also be a delightful addition.
Storage Tips:
Room Temperature: Store leftover rolls at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days. This helps keep them from drying out.
Refrigeration: For longer storage, keep the rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the oven as mentioned above to maintain their texture.
Freezing: To freeze, place the cooled rolls in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container and store for up to 3 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or reheat from frozen in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes.

FAQs:
Can I use a different type of fruit instead of blueberries?
Absolutely! You can substitute blueberries with other fruits like raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries. If using larger fruits, chop them into smaller pieces to ensure they cook evenly with the filling.
What can I use if I don’t have crescent roll dough?
If you don’t have crescent roll dough, you can use puff pastry or homemade dough. Puff pastry will give a similar flaky texture, while homemade dough might require additional rolling and shaping.
Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls ahead of time. Assemble them up to the point of baking, cover them with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, remove from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before baking as directed.
How can I make these rolls gluten-free?
To make gluten-free Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls, use gluten-free crescent roll dough or puff pastry. Ensure that all other ingredients, like the cream cheese and sugar, are also gluten-free. Check the labels of all ingredients to avoid any gluten-containing products.
Conclusion:
These Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls are sure to become a favorite in your household. The combination of flaky dough, creamy cheesecake filling, and burst of fresh blueberries creates a delicious treat that’s hard to resist. Enjoy these rolls with a cup of coffee or as a special breakfast to brighten your day!
