How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Add sugar, milk, melted butter, salt, and egg. Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the blueberries on top. Roll up the dough tightly and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Place the rolls in a greased baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
How to Serve Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
Serve the rolls warm with the blueberry sauce drizzled on top. They also taste great with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
