Ingredients

This recipe makes 8 delicious rolls.

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

• 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For the Blueberry Rolls:

• 1 sheet (14.1 oz / 400g) frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
• 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Lemon Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or milk for a milder glaze)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

   In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and wonderfully creamy. Stir in the all-purpose flour; this helps the filling set perfectly during baking.

   Small tip: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature and truly soft. This prevents lumps and makes for a silkier filling. Take it out of the fridge an hour before you begin.

2. Step 2: Thaw and Unfold the Puff Pastry

   Gently unfold the thawed puff pastry sheet onto a lightly floured surface or a piece of parchment paper. If it’s a bit stiff, let it sit for a few more minutes to relax. Carefully roll it out slightly into an approximate 10×12 inch rectangle.

   Small tip: Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator overnight for best results, or at room temperature for about 30-40 minutes. Never force it open if it’s still frozen, or it will crack.

3. Step 3: Spread the Filling Evenly

   Evenly spread the prepared cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the puff pastry. Make sure to leave a small 1/2-inch border along one of the long edges. This border will be crucial for sealing your roll later on.

4. Step 4: Add the Blueberries

   Generously scatter the fresh or frozen blueberries over the cream cheese filling. Try to distribute them as evenly as possible. This ensures every single roll gets a delightful burst of berry flavor.

   Small tip: If you’re using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first. Adding them frozen helps prevent too much liquid from bleeding into the filling before baking.

5. Step 5: Roll the Pastry Log

   Starting from the long edge opposite the empty border, carefully and slowly roll the pastry sheet into a tight log. Take your time to keep it even. Once rolled, gently pinch the seam together to seal it completely.

6. Step 6: Slice the Rolls

   Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 8 equal pieces, each about 1 to 1.5 inches thick. A serrated knife can also work wonderfully here for clean cuts. Place the sliced rolls, cut-side up, onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

   Small tip: For even cleaner cuts, you can chill the pastry log in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This firms up the pastry and filling.
