Equipment

  • parchment paper
  • 1 baking sheet

Ingredients
  

Blueberry Rolls

  • 1 can Crescent dough sheet or 8 ct. can crescent roll dough
  • 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 oz. cream cheese, softened
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh blueberries

Lemon glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice*

Instructions
 

Blueberry Rolls

  • Combine cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla
  • Stir in egg yolk
  • Unroll crescent dough sheet onto a piece of parchment paper, sealing perforations if necessary
  • Spread cream cheese in an even layer over dough rectangle
  • Top cream cheese with 1 cup of blueberries spaced evenly
  • Starting with the long side, roll dough into a log, using the paper to help if desired. Once your log is rolled, wrap it in the paper and chill for 2 hours in the refrigerator or 20-30 minutes in the freezer**
  • Line a baking sheet with fresh parchment paper
  • Cut dough into 10 even slices and place cut side up on lined baking sheet
  • Press 2-3 berries into the top of each roll
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until dough is cooked and golden
  • Let rolls cool and then put them on a plate pour glaze over them
  • Reheat rolls in the microwave for 20 seconds if desired

Lemon Glaze

  • Stir lemon juice into the powdered sugar, 1 Tbsp at a time until glaze has the desired consistency. You want it to be thick, yet thin enough to pour over the rolls
  • Cover rolls and store at room temperature or in the refrigerator

Notes

*use only enough lemon juice to make a thick but pourable glaze.  If your glaze is too thin add more sugar, if it's too thick add more lemon juice, adjusting until you get the right consistency
**dough roll will be very sticky and hard to cut without chilling it first
