How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Heaven Rolls
Prepare the Filling
Whisk together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
Assemble the Rolls
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into triangles. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the blueberry cheesecake mixture onto each triangle and roll them up tightly, sealing the edges to prevent leaks.
Bake the Rolls
Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.
Make the Glaze
While the rolls cool slightly, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and a splash of lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency by adding more milk or powdered sugar if needed.
Finish and Serve
Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls and let them rest for 10 minutes to set. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
Tips for Success
- Chill the dough for 15 minutes before rolling to prevent tearing
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and maintain a golden crust
- Measure cream cheese and sugar precisely for smooth, creamy filling
- Space rolls evenly on the tray for uniform baking
- Fold in blueberries gently to keep them intact
Mistakes to Avoid
- Overfilling the dough, which can cause leaks
- Skipping the chilling step, leading to dough tearing
- Overmixing the filling, which may make it runny
- Crowding the tray, resulting in uneven baking
Variations
- Mixed Berry Rolls – substitute blueberries with raspberries or blackberries
- Lemon Zest Twist – add lemon zest to the filling for extra brightness
- Nutty Crunch – sprinkle toasted almonds or pecans on top before glazing
- Vanilla Bean Glaze – swap vanilla extract for scraped vanilla bean for a richer flavor
Serving Suggestions
- Dust with powdered sugar and top with a few fresh blueberries for presentation
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat
- Serve with iced lemon tea or a lavender latte for brunch
- Arrange on a tiered stand for a bakery-style display at gatherings
