Ingredients

Scale

Crescent Roll Dough

  • 1 package crescent roll dough (8 count)

Cream Cheese Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Fruit Filling

  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, thawed and drained)

Optional

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
  • Powdered sugar or vanilla glaze (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. If desired, fold in freshly grated lemon zest for a bright citrus note.
  2. Unroll and Portion Dough: Carefully unroll crescent roll dough onto a clean surface. Separate into 8 individual triangles, creating pockets for the filling and blueberries.
  3. Assemble the Rolls: Spoon a dollop of cream cheese mixture near the wide base of each dough triangle, then add a spoonful of blueberries on top. Roll each triangle from the wide end to the narrow tip, sealing the filling inside.
  4. Apply Egg Wash and Bake: If using, whisk egg with water and brush the tops of the rolls for a golden, glossy finish. Place rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake according to package instructions, typically 12-15 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm to savor the melty cream cheese and juicy berries. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with vanilla glaze for added sweetness and presentation.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Do not overfill rolls to prevent leaking or soggy dough.
  • Handle dough gently and avoid stretching for flaky, tender rolls.
  • If using frozen blueberries, thaw completely and drain excess liquid.
  • Watch rolls closely near end of baking to avoid overbaking and keep centers moist.
