Prepare to fall in love at first bite with these Blueberry Cheesecake Heaven Rolls. These delightful swirls are a fusion of creamy cheesecake and juicy blueberries all nestled in a golden, buttery pastry. Whether served warm from the oven or chilled for a cool treat, each bite delivers an irresistible balance of tart, sweet, and tangy flavors.

These rolls are not just a feast for the taste buds but also a visual treat with their vibrant blueberry filling oozing out of the pillowy pastry. Perfect for weekend brunches, afternoon desserts, or a sweet end to dinner, they’re as indulgent as they sound—and surprisingly easy to make!

What Kind of Puff Pastry Should I Use?

For these rolls, a high-quality store-bought puff pastry works wonders. Look for a brand that uses real butter for maximum flavor and flakiness. Thaw the pastry in the refrigerator overnight or let it sit at room temperature just until it’s pliable—too soft and it’s tricky to work with, too cold and it may crack.

Ingredients for the Blueberry Cheesecake Heaven Rolls

Puff Pastry Sheets: This buttery, flaky base wraps everything up in golden layers of crisp.
Cream Cheese: Softened to spread easily and delivers the classic cheesecake flavor.
Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the cream cheese filling without any grittiness.
Vanilla Extract: Adds depth and warmth to the cheesecake mixture.
Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: The juicy burst of fruit brings brightness and a slight tartness.
Cornstarch: Helps thicken the blueberry mixture so it doesn’t spill out.
Lemon Juice: Balances the sweetness and enhances the blueberry flavor.
Egg (for egg wash): Gives the rolls that beautiful golden finish.

How To Make the Blueberry Cheesecake Heaven Rolls

Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Filling

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Stir constantly as the mixture thickens and becomes glossy—this usually takes about 5–7 minutes. Once thickened, remove it from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set this aside until you’re ready to assemble.

Step 3: Roll Out the Puff Pastry

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to smooth any creases. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over each sheet, followed by dollops of the cooled blueberry filling.

Step 4: Roll and Slice

Carefully roll the pastry into a log, starting from the shorter end to keep a tighter roll. Use a sharp knife or floss to cut into 1 to 1.5 inch slices. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.

Step 5: Brush and Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush each roll lightly with an egg wash to help achieve a beautiful golden top. Bake for 18–22 minutes or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed warm for a gooey experience or chilled for a firmer, cheesecake-like texture.

Serving and Storing Blueberry Cheesecake Heaven Rolls

These rolls are best served slightly warm when the blueberry filling is soft and the cheesecake is creamy. Pair them with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for an extra comforting treat. If you prefer a firmer texture, refrigerate them and serve chilled—great for a warm day!

To store leftovers, place them in an airtight container. They’ll keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 15–20 seconds or warm in the oven at 300°F for 5–7 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent the filling from leaking out?

Be sure to leave a small border around the edge of the pastry when spreading the filling, and don’t overfill. Rolling tightly and chilling the rolls before baking can also help.

Can I use frozen puff pastry?

Yes! Just make sure to thaw it according to package directions. It should be pliable but not too soft when you work with it.

Can I use other fruits?

Absolutely. Strawberries, raspberries, or blackberries work well in place of blueberries. Just adjust the sugar and lemon juice to balance the flavor.

Can these rolls be made ahead of time?

Yes, assemble the rolls and refrigerate them (unbaked) for up to 24 hours. Bake fresh when ready to serve.

Do I need to grease the baking sheet?

If you’re using parchment paper, you don’t need to grease the sheet. Otherwise, a light coat of butter or spray is helpful.

What can I use instead of cornstarch?

Arrowroot powder or all-purpose flour can be used to thicken the blueberry mixture. Just adjust the amount slightly as needed.
