Instructions

Make the Dough (Skip if Using Crescent Rolls):

  1. Activate the Yeast:

    • In a bowl, mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix & Knead:

    • Add flour, salt, melted butter, and egg to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
    • Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

Prepare the Fillings:

  1. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

    • Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Make the Blueberry Filling:

    • In a saucepan, cook blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice over medium heat until thickened (about 5 minutes). Let cool.

Assemble the Rolls:

  1. Roll Out the Dough:

    • On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12×10-inch rectangle.
    • If using crescent dough, pinch seams together and roll out slightly.
  2. Fill & Roll:

    • Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough.
    • Spoon the blueberry filling on top.
    • Roll the dough tightly from the long side, then slice into 12 rolls.
  3. Bake:

    • Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

Make the Glaze & Serve:

  1. Prepare the Glaze:

    • Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. Drizzle & Enjoy:

    • Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately!

Notes

  • Short on time? Use refrigerated crescent dough.
  • Want a tangy twist? Add lemon zest to the cheesecake filling.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat before serving.
