📝 Ingredients

For the Filling:

  • 3 oz (about 6 tbsp) cream cheese, softened (use ⅓ less fat for a lighter version)
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2½ tbsp powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)

For the Rolls:

  • 1 tube (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough (reduced fat or regular)
  • ⅔ cup fresh blueberries (rinsed and patted dry)

Optional Toppings:

  • Extra powdered sugar for dusting
  • Lemon zest for brightness
  • Light glaze (made with a little milk and powdered sugar)

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray with nonstick spray.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

  • In a small mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness if desired.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

  • Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
  • On each triangle, spread a small spoonful (about 1 tsp) of the cream cheese mixture.
  • Add a few fresh blueberries (about 8–10) on top of the filling.
  • Carefully roll up each triangle from the wide end to the tip, enclosing the berries and filling as much as possible.
  • Place rolls on the baking sheet, spaced apart.

Step 4: Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown and lightly crisp on top.
  • Let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

  • Dust with powdered sugar, a sprinkle of lemon zest, or a drizzle of glaze if you’d like. Serve warm or at room temperature.

📚 A Bit of History & Formation

Cheesecake as a dessert dates back to ancient Greece, where early versions were made with fresh cheese and honey. Over time, cheesecake evolved – from Roman variations with crushed barley to the cream cheese-based version popularized in the United States in the 19th century.

The fusion of cheesecake and crescent dough is a modern innovation born from convenience and creativity. Crescent rolls (first made popular by Pillsbury in the 1960s) are beloved for their flaky texture and versatility. Combining them with sweet, creamy fillings like cheesecake is part of a culinary trend that turns everyday dough into something delightfully decadent.
