Detailed Directions and Instructions
Prep
Preheat your oven to 375F (190C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Dough
Unroll the crescent roll dough onto a flat surface. Press the seams together to form a single sheet of dough, ensuring it is smooth and unified.
Filling
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Spread this cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough sheet to ensure every bite is delicious.
Toppings
Evenly sprinkle the blueberries over the cream cheese filling, distributing them well. Add the lemon zest on top to provide a fresh, citrusy flavor that complements the sweetness of the blueberries.
Roll
Starting from the long edge of the dough, carefully roll it into a log shape. Slice the log into 8-10 equal rounds, making sure each piece is approximately the same size for even baking. Place the rounds cut side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the dough is fully cooked. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly on the baking sheet.
Finish
Dust the warm rolls with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch. Enjoy these warm, gooey, and delicious Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls as a delightful breakfast or dessert treat!
