How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
1️⃣ Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
Combine softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2️⃣ Preheat Your Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3️⃣ Roll Out the Dough:
Open the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles. Flatten slightly on a floured surface using your fingers or a rolling pin.
4️⃣ Add the Filling:
Spread a thin layer of the cheesecake mixture on each triangle. Add a teaspoon of blueberry filling on top.
5️⃣ Roll Them Up:
Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll it tightly toward the pointed tip to form a crescent roll shape.
6️⃣ Bake:
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown.
7️⃣ Prepare the Glaze (Optional):
While the rolls are baking, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls after baking.
8️⃣ Serve and Enjoy:
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, with or without the glaze!
Recipe Notes
- Dough Tips: Ensure your crescent roll dough is cold when rolling to make it easier to handle.
- Blueberry Options: Fresh blueberries work beautifully, but blueberry pie filling adds an extra sweetness.
- Make It Your Own: Experiment with other fruit fillings like raspberries, strawberries, or peaches for variety.
FAQs
1. Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the rolls, refrigerate them unbaked, and bake them fresh when needed. Add a couple of minutes to the baking time if chilled.
2. Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent roll dough?
Absolutely! Puff pastry will create a flakier texture, but the flavor will still be delicious.
3. How do I store leftovers?
Store the rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes before serving.

These Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls are a simple yet impressive treat that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Perfect for a lazy weekend or a special occasion, they’re sure to become a favorite in your kitchen. Whether you drizzle them with glaze or enjoy them as-is, you’ll savor every bite.
