Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to bring these warm, comforting rolls to life. Each ingredient plays a small but important role in creating the perfect balance of flavor and texture.
-
Refrigerated crescent roll dough – Forms the flaky, buttery base that puffs up beautifully in the oven
-
Cream cheese (softened) – Adds that classic, rich cheesecake flavor with a smooth, creamy texture
-
Granulated sugar – Sweetens the filling and balances the tanginess of the cream cheese and blueberries
-
Vanilla extract – Brings warmth and depth, rounding out the flavors
-
Blueberry pie filling – Provides fruity sweetness, moisture, and bursts of berry flavor
-
Lemon juice – Brightens the filling and enhances the natural blueberry taste
-
Lemon zest – Adds a fresh, lightly citrusy aroma that lifts the entire recipe
-
Melted butter – Brushed on top for a glossy, golden finish
-
Powdered sugar – A delicate garnish that adds just the right touch of sweetness
Optional notes:
You can use fresh or canned blueberry filling depending on what you have on hand. Low-fat cream cheese works too, though full-fat gives the richest, creamiest result.
How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
Making these rolls is as enjoyable as eating them. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be rewarded with soft centers and beautifully golden tops.
-
Prepare the oven and baking sheet
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. -
Mix the cheesecake filling
In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir until smooth, creamy, and completely lump-free. -
Lay out the crescent dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into triangles on a flat surface, keeping them evenly spaced. -
Spread the cream cheese mixture
Spoon a small amount of the cheesecake filling onto each triangle, spreading it gently and evenly. -
Add the blueberry filling
Place a small spoonful of blueberry pie filling on top of the cream cheese layer—just enough for flavor without overfilling. -
Roll the crescents
Starting at the wide end, carefully roll each triangle toward the tip, forming a tight crescent shape. -
Brush with butter
Place the rolls seam-side down on the baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with melted butter for a golden finish. -
Bake to perfection
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the rolls are puffed and lightly golden, with soft, creamy centers. -
Cool and garnish
Let the rolls cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving warm and indulgent.
