Key Ingredients:

Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened to room temperature, so it blends smoothly with the sugar and vanilla for a creamy filling.
Powdered Sugar: Using powdered sugar creates a smooth texture, but you can use granulated sugar in a pinch (though the texture will be slightly grainier).
Crescent Roll Dough: Store-bought crescent dough makes this recipe a breeze, but feel free to use puff pastry if you have it on hand.
Blueberries: Fresh blueberries add a sweet burst of flavor, but if you’re using frozen, thaw and pat them dry first to avoid extra moisture.

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set Temperature: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures the rolls bake evenly and achieve a golden-brown crust.

2. Mix the Filling

Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine:
4 oz softened cream cheese
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Mix Until Smooth: Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no lumps.

3. Prepare the Dough

Separate the Dough: Open a tube of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 pre-cut triangles.

4. Assemble the Rolls

Add Filling: On the wider end of each triangle, spread about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture.
Add Blueberries: Place two rows of fresh blueberries (about 5-6 berries) on top of the cream cheese layer.

5. Roll the Dough

Roll from the Wide End: Starting from the wide end with the filling, roll the dough towards the pointed end, carefully encasing the filling within the dough.

6. Bake

Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake: Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked.

7. Serve

Enjoy Warm: These cream cheese and blueberry rolls are best served warm to enjoy the creamy filling and juicy blueberries with the crispy crescent roll exterior. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.

Storage and Reheating Tips:

If you have any leftovers, here’s how to store and reheat them:

Refrigerate: Place leftover rolls in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Freeze: These rolls freeze well! Wrap each roll individually in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months, then thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheat: For best results, reheat the rolls in a preheated 350°F oven for about 5-7 minutes. This helps maintain their crispy exterior.
