Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (or more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
- Optional: egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water), powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3: Prepare the Dough
Unroll the crescent dough and separate into 8 triangles. Place a spoonful of cream cheese filling on the wide end of each triangle. Add 5–6 blueberries on top.
Step 4: Roll and Seal
Roll each triangle from the wide end to the point, tucking in the sides slightly to keep the filling inside. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake
Brush with egg wash if using. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
Step 6: Serve
Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
