Tips for Making Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
- Room Temperature Cream Cheese: This ensures a smooth filling with no lumps.
- Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Either works, but if using frozen, don’t thaw them first.
- Customize the Dough: Crescent dough works great, but puff pastry or homemade dough can be used too.
Substitutions and Variations
- Other Berries: Use raspberries, blackberries, or chopped strawberries instead of blueberries.
- Add Lemon Zest: For a bright, citrusy twist, add lemon zest to the cheesecake filling.
- Cinnamon Sugar: Sprinkle a mix of cinnamon and sugar on the dough for a hint of spice.
- Chocolate Lover’s Version: Add mini chocolate chips to the filling for a decadent treat.
Make a Healthier Version
- Use low-fat cream cheese and reduce the sugar in the filling.
- Swap the crescent dough for whole-wheat pastry dough.
- Replace the glaze with a light dusting of powdered sugar for less sweetness.
