My Favorite Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls

These Blueberry Cheesecake Swirl Rolls have become my signature bring along treat for brunches and coffee dates. Something magical happens when tangy cream cheese meets sweet blueberries inside flaky pastry. The first time I made these my kitchen smelled like a fancy bakery and my family couldn't wait for them to cool down. Now everyone requests them for special occasions but they're actually simple enough for weekend baking.

Perfect for Any Time

I love how versatile these rolls are. They work beautifully for breakfast with coffee fancy enough for dessert or just perfect for afternoon snacking. The combination of creamy filling and bursting blueberries gets everyone excited. My kids think they're getting something super special and I love that they're not too complicated to whip up whenever the craving hits.

What You Need

  • 3 oz cream cheese softened: Make sure it's really soft for the smoothest filling regular or light both work great
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: Pure vanilla makes everything taste better
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar: Just enough to make it sweet without being overwhelming
  • 1 tube crescent roll dough: My shortcut to perfectly flaky rolls every time
  • 2/3 cup fresh blueberries: Pick the plumpest ones you can find frozen work too in a pinch

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, use them straight from frozen to prevent making the dough soggy. Don't thaw them first or they'll release too much liquid.

→ How do I prevent the filling from leaking?

Don't overfill the rolls and make sure to seal the edges well when rolling. Leave a small border around the edges when spreading the filling.

→ Can I make these ahead of time?

You can prepare them up to 24 hours ahead and store unbaked in the fridge. Let them come to room temperature before baking.

→ How do I store leftover rolls?

Keep them in an airtight container for 2 days at room temp or 5 days in the fridge. Warm slightly before serving.

→ Can I use other berries?

Yes, try raspberries or chopped strawberries. Just make sure they're similar in size to blueberries to prevent tearing the dough.
