Ingredients

Scale

Dough and Filling

  • 2 crescent roll sheets
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 13 ounces blueberry jam or blueberry pie filling
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Frosting

  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ cup heavy cream
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cinnamon rolls.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, blend the softened unsalted butter, packed light brown sugar, and cinnamon until it forms a smooth paste. This mixture will add a deliciously sweet and spicy layer inside the rolls.
  3. Spread Filling on Dough: Unroll one sheet of crescent dough onto a lightly floured surface or parchment paper. Using a spatula, evenly spread half of the butter-sugar mixture close to the edges. Follow by spreading half of the blueberry jam on top; if the jam is too thick, microwave it briefly in 15-second increments until it becomes spreadable.
  4. Roll and Slice: Tightly roll the dough along the shorter edge to form a log. Slice this log into six pieces approximately 1½ inches wide each.
  5. Repeat for Second Sheet: Repeat steps 3 and 4 using the second crescent roll sheet and the remaining butter-sugar mixture and blueberry jam to create a total of twelve rolls.
  6. Arrange Rolls and Add Fresh Blueberries: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place the cinnamon rolls evenly in the dish. Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the top to add bursts of tart freshness.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the rolls are lightly golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Prepare Frosting: While the rolls bake, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream in a bowl. Beat or stir until smooth and creamy.
  9. Frost and Serve: Once rolls are warm and freshly baked, spread the cream cheese frosting generously over them. Serve immediately for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Microwaving jam before spreading makes it easier to apply evenly.
  • Use fresh or thawed frozen blueberries for topping.
  • Crescent roll sheets can be found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores.
  • Make sure not to over-bake to keep the rolls soft and tender.
  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, adjust the cinnamon quantity to taste.
