Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (8 ounces/226 grams) tube crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 23 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries
- 3 ounces (85 grams) cream cheese (softened, 13 less fat)
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 1/2 tablespoons (30 grams) powdered sugar
- 12 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 375F (190C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Create a velvety cream cheese mixture by whisking softened cream cheese with vanilla extract and powdered sugar until silky and fully incorporated.
- Carefully unroll the crescent dough, separating it into 8 distinct triangular sections along the perforated guidelines.
- Spread a delicate layer of cream cheese mixture across the wider base of each triangular dough piece, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange 6-8 fresh blueberries in two neat rows atop the cream cheese layer, distributing them evenly to ensure each roll has a consistent fruity filling.
- Gently roll each triangle from the wide end toward the pointed tip, carefully encasing the blueberries and cream cheese mixture within the dough.
- Softly curve the rolled triangles into classic crescent shapes, pinching the edges to seal the filling securely.
- Position the filled rolls on an ungreased baking sheet or parchment-lined tray, spacing them slightly apart to prevent sticking.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes until the rolls transform into a gorgeous golden-brown color with a light, flaky exterior.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls cool for a few minutes, allowing the filling to set while maintaining a warm, inviting temperature for serving.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother filling texture.
- Use fresh or frozen blueberries; if using frozen, do not thaw to prevent color bleeding.
- Seal edges completely to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with vanilla glaze for extra sweetness and presentation.
