Instructions (Simple Steps to Deliciousness)
Now that you have all your ingredients assembled, let’s get started on making these irresistible rolls!
1. Preheat and Prepare
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Make the Creamy Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer with cream cheese attachments, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and light.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until well incorporated and there are no lumps.
- Pour in the vanilla extract and beat again until light and fluffy.
- If you prefer a slightly tangy filling, add a tablespoon of lemon juice at this stage.
3. Assemble the Rolls
- Unroll the crescent dough on a lightly floured surface and separate it into triangles.
- Spread a generous dollop of the cream cheese filling along the base of each triangle, leaving a small border at the top.
- Scatter a few fresh blueberries over the cream cheese filling.
Pro-Tip: Don’t overfill the rolls, or the filling might burst out during baking.
- Starting at the base, carefully roll up each triangle crescent dough, forming a crescent shape. Pinch the edges to seal the rolls.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
- Arrange the assembled rolls on your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them for even baking.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with milk (optional) for a golden brown sheen.
- Sprinkle the tops with granulated sugar or sanding sugar, for an extra touch of sweetness (optional).
- Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until the crescent dough is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
5. Cool and Enjoy!
- Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful combination of creamy cheesecake and fresh blueberries wrapped in flaky crescent dough!
