FAQs
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, but be sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture making the rolls soggy.
How do I keep the filling from leaking out?
Avoid overfilling the rolls, and pinch the edges slightly to seal them before baking.
Can I make these ahead of time?
You can assemble them ahead and store them in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
What’s the best way to soften cream cheese quickly?
Leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave it in 10-second bursts until softened.
Can I use puff pastry instead of crescent dough?
Yes, but baking time may need to be adjusted as puff pastry takes longer to cook.
How do I make a simple glaze for the rolls?
Mix ½ cup powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk and drizzle over the baked rolls.
Can I add chocolate to these rolls?
Absolutely! Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the cream cheese filling before rolling.
What if I don’t have powdered sugar?
You can blend granulated sugar in a food processor to create a fine texture similar to powdered sugar.
Can I bake these in an air fryer?
Yes! Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes, checking for doneness.
Do I need to grease the baking sheet?
No, the crescent dough contains enough butter to prevent sticking, but you can use parchment paper for easy cleanup.
