Ingredients
Scale
Crescent Rolls
- 1 can crescent roll dough (8-count)
Filling
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup blueberry jam or preserves
Topping
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, which ensures a deliciously sweet and flavorful filling.
- Prepare Crescent Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 individual triangles for easy filling and rolling.
- Add Filling: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each dough triangle, then top each with about 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam, layering flavors beautifully.
- Roll Rolls: Carefully roll up each triangle starting from the wide end, making sure to fully encase the filling to prevent leaks during baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescent rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for expansion while baking.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, with a flaky texture.
- Cool and Dust: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before dusting them lightly with powdered sugar for a pretty and sweet finish. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to make mixing easier and smoother.
- You can substitute blueberry jam with any other fruit jam of your choice for different flavors.
- For a crispier crust, consider brushing the crescent rolls with a little melted butter before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Reheat in a warm oven for a few minutes to regain flakiness and warmth before serving.
