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 Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even, sweet filling.
- Unroll Dough: Carefully unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into eight individual triangles along the pre-cut lines.
- Add Filling: Spoon approximately 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle, then add about 1 teaspoon of blueberry jam on top of the cream cheese.
- Roll Up: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle up tightly, making sure to encase the filling fully within the dough.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow room for expansion while baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 11 to 13 minutes or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Cool and Dust: Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool slightly. Once warm but not hot, dust with powdered sugar to add a sweet finishing touch before serving.
Notes
- For best results, make sure the cream cheese is well softened to ease mixing and rolling.
- You can substitute blueberry jam with other fruit preserves like raspberry or strawberry for variety.
- Serve the rolls warm for the best taste and texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven for a few minutes before serving to restore flakiness.
