Golden, buttery crescent rolls meet luscious cheesecake filling and juicy blueberries in this dreamy Blueberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls recipe.

They come out flaky, gooey, and just the right balance of rich and fruity.

Each roll is a puff of tender pastry hugging a velvety blend of cream cheese and vibrant blueberry jam. A dusting of powdered sugar finishes them off with just the right touch of sweetness.

What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

For this recipe, refrigerated crescent roll dough is your best bet. It’s already portioned and perforated, making it easy to work with. Pillsbury-style crescent rolls are ideal for the size and texture you want. If you only have puff pastry on hand, you can substitute it—just roll and cut it into triangle shapes, but keep an eye on the baking time.

Ingredients for the Blueberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

Crescent Roll Dough
This is the base of our rolls, offering flaky layers and buttery flavor with zero prep work.

Cream Cheese
Softened cream cheese gives us that rich, tangy cheesecake texture. Let it come to room temperature so it mixes easily.

Granulated Sugar
This sweetens the cream cheese filling without overpowering the berries.

Vanilla Extract
Just a touch enhances the overall flavor with warm, sweet notes.

Blueberry Jam or Preserves
You can use homemade or store-bought—this adds the bright, fruity layer to balance the creaminess.

Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
A light shower of powdered sugar adds an elegant finishing touch.

How To Make the Blueberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

Step 1: Prep Your Ingredients

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Let your cream cheese soften at room temperature and measure out your sugar, vanilla, and blueberry jam.

---

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.

---

Step 3: Roll and Fill the Dough

Unroll your crescent dough and separate it into triangles. On the wider end of each triangle, spoon about a tablespoon of the cheesecake filling and a teaspoon of blueberry jam. Be careful not to overfill, so the rolls seal well.

---

Step 4: Shape and Place

Gently roll the triangles up from the wide end to the tip, wrapping the filling inside. Place each crescent on the prepared baking sheet, keeping space between them for expansion. If any filling leaks, just tuck it back in or clean the edges with a spoon.

---

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 11-13 minutes, or until the crescent rolls are golden brown and puffed. Let them cool slightly on a wire rack.

---

Step 6: Add the Finishing Touch

Once slightly cooled, dust the rolls with powdered sugar using a fine mesh sieve. Serve warm for the ultimate gooey, creamy experience.

How to Serve and Store Blueberry Cheesecake Crescent Rolls

These rolls are best served slightly warm, right after baking, when the filling is soft and the pastry is flaky. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or a fruity mimosa at brunch. For a dessert spin, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm lemon glaze.

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 5-7 minutes or pop them in the air fryer for a couple of minutes to refresh that flaky texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep the filling from leaking out?

Don’t overfill the dough and make sure to place the filling closer to the wider end. Rolling gently but tightly also helps seal the edges.

Can I use fresh blueberries instead of jam?

Yes! If using fresh blueberries, toss them in a little sugar and cornstarch first. But jam keeps things easier and neater.

Are these freezer-friendly?

Yes, you can freeze them after baking. Let them cool completely, wrap tightly, and freeze for up to a month. Reheat in the oven straight from frozen.

Can I add lemon zest to the filling?

Absolutely. A little lemon zest in the cream cheese adds brightness and a nice contrast to the sweetness.

What if I don’t have powdered sugar?

You can skip the dusting or make a quick glaze with milk and regular sugar blended until smooth.
