Ingredients
- 1 package crescent roll dough

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Feel free to customize this recipe with other fruit fillings or dietary alternatives! For example, swap blueberries for raspberries, or use a dairy-free cream cheese substitute if you’re vegan or lactose intolerant.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams to form a flat, even sheet.
Step 3: Prepare Filling
In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Spread Filling
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the flattened crescent dough.
Step 5: Add Blueberries and Lemon Zest
Scatter the blueberries across the cream cheese layer and sprinkle with fresh lemon zest for a bright citrusy twist.
Step 6: Roll Up
Starting from one end, roll the dough into a log, making sure the filling stays in place.
Step 7: Slice and Arrange
Cut the rolled dough into 1-inch rounds and place them on the greased baking sheet.
Step 8: Bake
Bake the rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
Step 9: Dust with Powdered Sugar
Once the rolls have cooled slightly, dust them with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.
Step 10: Serve and Enjoy
Enjoy your freshly baked Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls warm!

- Frozen blueberries can be used in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain them well to avoid adding too much moisture to the dough.
- If you don’t have crescent roll dough, you can substitute puff pastry for an even flakier texture.
- For a unique twist, try experimenting with different flavors. Raspberry and lemon make a great combo, or even a Nutella banana filling could be a fun variation!
