Ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• ¼ cup powdered sugar, for dusting or glaze

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
2. Unroll the crescent dough and press the seams together to create one large rectangle.
3. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Scatter the blueberries evenly over the filling, then sprinkle with the lemon zest.
6. Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
7. Slice into 1-inch rolls and place them cut-side up on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
9. Allow the rolls to cool for about 10 minutes.
10. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple powdered sugar glaze before serving.

Helpful Tips

• If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before baking.
• Use room-temperature cream cheese for the smoothest filling.
• Add a few white chocolate chips for extra sweetness.
• Chill the rolled dough for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
• Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.

Storage

Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven for several minutes. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
