Ingredients for Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup blueberry preserves
How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
1. Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the rolls from sticking.
2. Prepare the Crescent Rolls
Open the can of crescent rolls and gently unroll the dough on a clean surface. Separate the dough into 8 triangles, which will be your individual rolls.
3. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a spatula, blend the mixture until smooth and creamy.
4. Fill the Crescent Rolls
Spoon a generous tablespoon of the cheesecake filling onto the wide end of each crescent roll triangle. Carefully roll up the dough, starting at the wide end and working your way toward the point, making sure to enclose the filling inside as you roll.
5. Bake the Rolls
Place the filled crescent rolls on your prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for spreading. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.
6. Add the Blueberry Preserves
Allow the rolls to cool for about 5 minutes on the pan. Once they’ve slightly cooled, top each roll with a spoonful of blueberry preserves. The combination of warm, flaky rolls and cool, sweet preserves is absolutely delicious!
Tips for Perfect Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
- Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to ensure a smooth filling. If it’s too cold, it will be lumpy and difficult to spread.
- Sealing the Rolls: Be gentle when rolling up the crescent dough to prevent the filling from spilling out. Pinching the edges closed can help keep the cheesecake mixture inside.
- Serving Suggestions: These rolls are best served warm or at room temperature, but they can also be reheated in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for a fresh-from-the-oven taste.
Variations for Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
- Fruit Preserves: Switch up the blueberry preserves with other fruit options like strawberry, raspberry, or apricot preserves for different flavor profiles.
- Chocolate Drizzle: For an extra touch of indulgence, drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the rolls before serving.
- Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle some crushed nuts like pecans or almonds on top of the blueberry preserves for added texture.
