Ingredients

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent roll dough

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon cornstarch

Zest of 1 lemon

1 egg (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for topping)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Prepare Blueberries: In another bowl, toss blueberries with lemon juice and cornstarch until coated. This will thicken the filling and enhance the flavor.

Roll Out Dough: Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface, separating it into individual triangles.

Add Filling: On the wider end of each triangle, spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture, and then add a few blueberries on top.

Roll Them Up: Starting from the wide end, roll the crescent dough towards the pointy end, gently pinching the edges to seal. Place on the prepared baking sheet with the point side down.

Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a fork. Brush the tops of the crescent rolls with the egg wash to give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.

Add Sugar and Cinnamon: In another small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture over the crescent rolls for an extra touch of sweetness and flavor.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.

Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. These are best enjoyed warm!
