Blueberry Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls

by Victoria

Hey, Kitchies! Let’s talk about flaky, buttery, golden-brown perfection—these Blueberry Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls are little bites of heaven. Imagine warm, pillowy crescent rolls filled with luscious cream cheese and juicy bursts of blueberries, all wrapped up in a handheld treat that’s as easy to make as it is to devour.

I remember the first time I made these for brunch. My husband took one bite, looked at me with wide eyes, and immediately grabbed another before anyone else could. The combination of sweet, tangy cream cheeseplump blueberries, and that golden, buttery crescent dough is pure magic. They taste like something you’d find at a fancy bakery, but they come together with just a handful of ingredients right in your own kitchen.

Whether you’re making them for a lazy Sunday breakfast, a last-minute dessert, or a quick snack to impress your guests, these crescent rolls are simple, delicious, and dangerously addictive. Serve them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of icing, and you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making these all along.


Resume of the Recipe in Todd Wilbur’s Writing Style:

These Blueberry Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls are a perfect mix of flaky pastry, creamy filling, and sweet blueberries—and the best part? They’re unbelievably easy to make. Using store-bought crescent roll dough, we stuff each roll with a rich, vanilla-kissed cream cheese mixture and fresh blueberries before baking them until golden brown.

It’s a quick, no-fuss recipe that delivers bakery-quality flavor in under 30 minutes. Whether you’re making these for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack, they’re delightfully soft, buttery, and bursting with flavor. Serve them warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of vanilla glaze for the ultimate treat!


Exciting Story:

Every Saturday morning, my little family gathers in the kitchen for what we call “Lazy Brunch Saturdays.” It’s a ritual—cozy pajamas, fresh coffee brewing, and something warm baking in the oven. One morning, I decided to surprise everyone with these Blueberry Cream Cheese Crescent Rolls.

As they baked, the whole kitchen smelled like sweet vanilla and buttery pastry. The moment they came out, golden and puffed, my kids practically hovered around the baking sheet waiting for them to cool. When we finally took our first bite, the soft cream cheese filling melted perfectly with the juicy blueberries, and just like that, they were gone. No leftovers. No crumbs. Just a lot of happy faces and requests for a second batch!

Tips for Perfect Crescent Rolls

  • Use Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen, don’t thaw—just add them straight to the dough.
  • Seal the Edges Well: This prevents the filling from leaking out during baking.
  • Don’t Overfill: A little filling goes a long way—too much can make rolling tricky.
  • Brush with Butter: This gives them a golden, bakery-style finish.
  • Try Different Berries: Swap blueberries for raspberries, blackberries, or diced strawberries.

Substitutions and Variations:

  • Glazed Version: Drizzle with lemon glaze (powdered sugar + lemon juice) for extra zing.
  • Cinnamon Sugar Twist: Mix cinnamon and sugar into the cream cheese for a warm spice flavor.
  • Chocolate Blueberry Crescents: Add a few mini chocolate chips for a sweeter treat.
  • Nutty Crunch: Sprinkle chopped pecans or almonds on top before baking.

Make a Healthier Version:

  • Low-Sugar Option: Use a sugar substitute like monk fruit or erythritol.
  • Lower-Fat Cream Cheese: Swap full-fat cream cheese for Neufchâtel cheese.
  • Whole Wheat Crescent Dough: If available, use whole wheat crescent rolls for extra fiber.
