Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 can (8-count) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or puff pastry, cut into 8 rectangles)
  • 1 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar (optional, for topping)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 1–2 tbsp milk (for glaze)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • electric mixer or whisk
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Pastry brush
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll crescent dough and separate into triangles (or rectangles if using puff pastry).
  3. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each dough piece. Place a few blueberries on top of the filling. Roll up the dough (starting at the wider end if using crescents) and pinch edges to seal.
  4. Place rolls on prepared baking sheet. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a touch of lemon zest to the cream cheese filling. You can substitute puff pastry for a flakier texture or use frozen blueberries (no need to thaw). Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat slightly before serving.
