Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 rolls (or pastry sheets)
- 2 cups cream cheese
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
Baking Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp butter (28g)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Topping Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp blueberry jam
- 1 tbsp milk (15ml)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Mix cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a medium bowl until smooth and well-combined.
- Gently fold fresh blueberries into the cream cheese mixture, taking care not to crush the berries.
- Unroll pastry sheets and cut into rectangular sections if needed for uniform size.
- Spread cream cheese and blueberry mixture evenly across each pastry roll, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Carefully roll each pastry sheet into a tight cylinder, ensuring the filling remains secure inside.
- Seal the edges by pressing gently with fingertips to prevent filling from leaking during baking.
- Brush each roll with beaten egg wash to create a golden, glossy exterior.
- Arrange rolls on prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until pastry turns a rich, golden brown and appears crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.
- Whisk powdered sugar, blueberry jam, and milk to create a smooth drizzling glaze.
- Drizzle glaze over warm rolls and serve immediately for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Soften cream cheese beforehand at room temperature to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling that blends easily.
- Handle pastry sheets gently to prevent tearing and maintain their delicate texture during preparation.
- Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the most vibrant flavor and natural sweetness in the filling.
- Adjust baking time slightly for different ovens, watching closely to prevent over-browning of the pastry.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute regular pastry with gluten-free puff pastry sheets.
- Create a dairy-free alternative by using coconut cream cheese and plant-based milk in the recipe.
- Make ahead and freeze unbaked rolls for a quick dessert option that can be baked directly from frozen.
- Experiment with different berry combinations like mixed berries or raspberries for variety.
