💙 Blueberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

📖 Introduction

Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls are a delightful fusion of two beloved desserts — cheesecake and warm pastries. With a flaky crescent roll crust wrapped around a creamy cheesecake filling and bursting blueberries, this treat is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. Easy to make, yet indulgent enough to impress, these rolls bring comfort and elegance to your table.

🥄 Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 count)
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, don’t thaw)
  • 2 tablespoons blueberry jam (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting)

👩‍🍳 Instructions & Methods

Step 1 – Prepare the filling

  1. In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in the blueberries (and blueberry jam, if using).

Step 2 – Prepare the dough

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Unroll crescent roll dough and separate into 8 triangles.

Step 3 – Fill & roll

  1. Place 1–2 tablespoons of cream cheese filling at the wider end of each triangle.
  2. Roll up gently, starting from the wide end and tucking in the sides so the filling doesn’t spill.
  3. Place rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4 – Bake

  1. Brush the tops with beaten egg yolk for a golden shine.
  2. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.

Step 5 – Serve

  1. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
  3. Serve warm, with extra blueberry jam or whipped cream if desired.

🕰️ History & Formation

The idea of combining cheesecake and pastry goes back centuries. Cheesecake itself dates to ancient Greece, while crescent dough was perfected by Austrian and French bakers. In modern kitchens, home cooks started experimenting with canned crescent rolls in the 1970s, leading to easy “shortcut” cheesecakes. Blueberries, native to North America, became a natural match for the creamy filling. The formation of this recipe reflects a culinary marriage between European pastry tradition and American cheesecake love.
