Timing

Preparing Easy Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls takes about 10 minutes for prep and 15-20 minutes for baking, totaling approximately 25-30 minutes.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

1. Mix Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

1. Unroll Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into triangles.
2. Spread Filling: Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture onto each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Add Blueberries: Sprinkle blueberries over the cream cheese mixture.
4. Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle tightly to form a roll. Place the rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Bake

1. Brush with Butter: If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
2. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 5: Prepare the Glaze (Optional)

1. Mix Glaze: While the rolls are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar as needed.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

1. Cool Slightly: Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
2. Drizzle Glaze: Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.
