Description

Simple crescent rolls filled with a sweet blueberry and cream cheese mixture, baked until golden.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (8 ounce) can refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 1/2 cup blueberry pie filling
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla extract until just combined.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough. Separate the dough into 8 triangles.
  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the wide end of each triangle. Top the cream cheese with about 1 tablespoon of blueberry pie filling.
  5. Roll each triangle up tightly, starting from the wide end and rolling toward the point. Place the crescents seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the milk and coarse sugar. Brush the tops of the crescents with the milk mixture.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crescents are golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute frozen blueberries mixed with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of sugar for the pie filling.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
