Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
Filling and Sweeteners:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon butter (melted)
Instructions
- Prepare a baking surface by lining a sheet with parchment paper and heating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Create a vibrant blueberry compote by combining blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Simmer the mixture over medium heat, gently stirring until the berries release their juices and the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Craft the creamy cheesecake filling by whisking cream cheese until smooth, then incorporating powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Blend until the mixture becomes silky and well-integrated.
- Carefully unroll the crescent dough, separating each triangle. Generously spread the cream cheese mixture across the surface of each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Distribute the cooled blueberry compote evenly over the cream cheese layer, ensuring a balanced distribution of fruity goodness.
- Roll each triangle from the wide end, tucking in the sides to prevent filling from escaping. Position the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Enhance the rolls by brushing with melted butter and sprinkling graham cracker crumbs across the top for a delightful textural contrast.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for a golden-brown exterior that signals perfect doneness.
- Remove from the oven and let the rolls rest for a few minutes, allowing the filling to set and the flavors to meld before serving.
Notes
- Swap white sugar with honey or maple syrup for a more natural sweetness boost.
- Ensure cream cheese is room temperature to achieve a silky smooth filling without lumps.
- Use fresh blueberries for the most vibrant flavor and best texture in the filling.
- Quickly roll the crescent dough to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
