Ingredients:

1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ cup blueberry jam (or fresh blueberries, mashed)
1 tsp vanilla extract

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Baking Sheet

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together until smooth and creamy. This mixture should have a smooth, thick consistency, similar to traditional cheesecake filling.

3. Unroll the Crescent Dough

Open the can of crescent roll dough and unroll it on a flat surface. You should have 8 individual triangles of dough. Pinch the perforated seams together to make a single sheet of dough, so you have 8 rectangular pieces instead of triangles.

4. Spread the Cheesecake Filling

Evenly spread a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture over each piece of dough. Make sure to leave a small border around the edges.

5. Add the Blueberries

On top of the cheesecake filling, spoon a small amount of blueberry jam onto each dough rectangle, or scatter mashed fresh blueberries over the cream cheese mixture. For an extra burst of flavor, you can add a little more blueberry jam or fresh blueberries, depending on your preference.

6. Roll Up the Dough

Carefully roll up each piece of dough, starting from the wider end, like a traditional cinnamon roll. Pinch the edges to seal in the filling and create a neat roll.

7. Bake the Rolls

Place the rolls on your prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up. The filling should be bubbly and slightly oozing from the sides.

8. Cool & Serve

Once the rolls are baked, allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving. For extra sweetness, you can drizzle some additional blueberry jam or a glaze over the rolls, but they’re delicious even without it!

Serving & Storage Tips

Serving Suggestions:

Serve these blueberry cheesecake rolls warm, straight from the oven for a comforting breakfast or dessert. Pair them with a cup of coffee or tea for the ultimate treat.
For an extra indulgent touch, top the rolls with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Storage:

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. If you prefer to keep them fresh for longer, refrigerate them for up to 1 week.

Freezing:

To freeze the rolls, bake them first, then let them cool completely. Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and store them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 1 month. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for a few seconds or reheat them in the oven.

Helpful Notes

Blueberry Jam vs. Fresh Blueberries: If you\’re using fresh blueberries, mash them slightly with a fork for a jam-like consistency. You can also use any other berry jam, like strawberry or raspberry, if you prefer.
Dough Alternatives: If you don’t have crescent roll dough on hand, you can use puff pastry for a flakier texture, or even store-bought pie dough for a slightly different flavor.
Cream Cheese Tip: Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing to ensure a smooth filling. If you forget to take it out in advance, you can microwave it for about 10-15 seconds to soften it quickly.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

Martha Stewart recommends using a combination of blueberry jam and fresh blueberries for an added texture and depth of flavor. The jam gives a sweetness, while the fresh fruit adds a juicy bite.
Ina Garten suggests brushing the rolls with a bit of melted butter before baking to achieve an extra golden and crispy exterior.
Rachael Ray advises using a teaspoon of lemon zest in the cream cheese mixture for a pop of citrus that pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the blueberries.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I use other types of jam?

Yes! You can use strawberry, raspberry, or even apricot jam. The recipe works with most fruit spreads.

2. Can I make these rolls ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the rolls up to a day ahead. Just cover them with plastic wrap and store them in the fridge. When ready to bake, allow them to come to room temperature before baking.

3. How do I make the cream cheese filling thicker?

If you\’d like a thicker filling, you can add an extra tablespoon of powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture. For a richer texture, add a bit of heavy cream.

4. Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but be aware that they might release more juice, so try to drain any excess liquid before adding them to the rolls.

5. Can I make these rolls gluten-free?

You can try using gluten-free crescent roll dough (available in some grocery stores) to make this recipe gluten-free. Just make sure the rest of the ingredients are also gluten-free.

6. What if I don’t have powdered sugar?

7. Can I make these rolls vegan?

9. Can I freeze the unbaked rolls?
