These Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls are a delightful pastry treat combining soft crescent roll dough with a creamy, sweetened cream cheese filling and luscious blueberry preserves. Baked until golden and drizzled with a sweet glaze, they make a perfect dessert or breakfast treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry and Filling

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup blueberry preserves (or thick blueberry jam)

Glaze and Garnish

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 cup fresh blueberries (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven. Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. This ensures the rolls bake evenly and don’t stick.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture. In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which will be the filling for the rolls.
  3. Assemble the Rolls. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into its pre-cut triangles. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over each triangle, then add about a teaspoon of blueberry preserves on top to add the fruity flavor.
  4. Roll Up the Dough. Carefully roll up each triangle starting from the wide end toward the tip, enclosing the filling inside. Place each rolled piece onto the prepared baking sheet with the point side down to keep them from unraveling as they bake.
  5. Bake. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove them from the oven and allow to cool slightly on the tray.
  6. Make and Add Glaze. Whisk together the powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth to create a glaze. Drizzle this glaze over the warm rolls for added sweetness and shine.
  7. Garnish and Serve. Optionally, garnish each roll with fresh blueberries to add a fresh, vibrant touch before serving. Enjoy your delicious blueberry cheesecake rolls warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute blueberry preserves with any other berry jam, such as raspberry or strawberry, for a different flavor.
  • For a richer glaze, add a small amount of vanilla extract or lemon juice to the powdered sugar mixture.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to make spreading easier and a smoother filling.
  • If fresh blueberries are unavailable, the rolls can be served without garnish or with a sprinkle of powdered sugar instead.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate to keep longer.
