Ingredients

Scale

For the Rolls:

1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade, thawed if frozen)
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)
1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional, for added flavor)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for dusting)

For the Topping (optional):

1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)
1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for sprinkling)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Add the lemon zest if using, and stir until combined.
Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases and increase its size slightly. If the puff pastry is too sticky, dust it lightly with some flour to help with rolling.
Assemble the Rolls: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire surface of the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle the blueberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Form the Rolls: Starting from one edge, carefully roll the pastry up into a tight log. Once rolled, use a sharp knife to slice the log into 8-10 even rolls.
Bake the Rolls: Place the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re spaced out slightly. Brush the tops of the rolls with the melted butter and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired for extra sweetness and crispiness. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. For an added touch, you can drizzle them with a little extra powdered sugar glaze or top with a few more fresh blueberries.
Enjoy: These Ultimate Crispy Blueberry Cream Cheese Rolls are best enjoyed warm, right out of the oven, or at room temperature. Serve them with coffee or tea for a delightful breakfast or dessert.

Notes

If you prefer, you can use other fruits like strawberries or raspberries in place of blueberries, or even a mix of berries.
These rolls are best served the day they’re baked, but you can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to restore the crispy texture.
If you want a glaze, mix powdered sugar with a small amount of milk to drizzle over the rolls after baking.
