Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup blueberry pie filling
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup melted butter for brushing
Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 375F (190C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Create a velvety filling by blending cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Carefully unfold the crescent roll dough, separating each triangle on a clean surface. Generously spread the cream cheese mixture across each triangle, ensuring even coverage.
- Add a precise dollop of blueberry pie filling to the center of each cream cheese-coated triangle.
- Tightly roll the dough from the wide end toward the point, tucking in edges to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Arrange the rolled pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each roll for even browning.
- Gently brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter, creating a golden sheen.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown color and crisp edges.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Optionally drizzle with additional icing for extra sweetness.
- Serve warm, allowing the filling to remain soft and inviting.
Notes
- Swap the blueberry pie filling with fresh blueberries for a more natural, less sweet version that provides a burst of fresh flavor.
- Experiment with different fruit fillings like raspberry, strawberry, or mixed berry to customize the rolls and match seasonal availability.
- For a gluten-free alternative, use gluten-free crescent roll dough or replace with a low-carb almond flour pastry to accommodate dietary restrictions.
- Chill the cream cheese mixture for 15 minutes before spreading to ensure a firmer texture and easier application on the crescent dough triangles.
