Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Dough
- 1 (8 oz) tube of crescent roll dough
- 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready for baking the rolls.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Unroll Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough on a clean surface, then separate it into individual triangles as per the package instructions.
- Assemble Rolls: Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each triangle, then sprinkle fresh blueberries evenly on top.
- Roll Up Dough: Starting from the wider end of each triangle, roll the dough tightly over the filling to form a roll. Place each roll seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or non-stick spray.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown.
- Cool & Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the warm, creamy, blueberry-filled treats.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to easily mix with the other ingredients for a smooth filling.
- You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen blueberries, but thaw and drain excess moisture before using to avoid soggy rolls.
- For a glaze, drizzle some powdered sugar mixed with a little milk over the cooled rolls for extra sweetness.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to separate the crescent dough triangles cleanly for even-sized rolls.
- Serve the rolls warm for the best texture and flavor.
