Ingredients You’ll Need

You won’t believe how just a handful of pantry and fridge staples create such a bakery-worthy delight. Each ingredient brings its own flavor, texture, or visual pop, making these Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls as beautiful as they are delicious.

• Puff pastry sheet (1 sheet, thawed): This is your shortcut to a golden, flaky crust that tastes like you spent hours in the kitchen.
• Cream cheese (4 ounces, softened): Delivers rich creaminess and that classic cheesecake flavor we all adore.
• Granulated sugar (1/4 cup): Sweetens the filling with just the right amount of lift, letting the berries shine.
• Pure vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon): Adds depth and warmth, making every bite feel extra special.
• Blueberry preserves or fresh blueberries (1/2 cup): The star of the show — use preserves for a jammy swirl or fresh berries for bursts of fruitiness.
• Egg (1, for egg wash): Creates that glossy, golden finish on top.
• Water (1 tablespoon): Blends with the egg to help the rolls bake up shiny and gorgeous.
• Optional: powdered sugar or glaze: A finishing dust or drizzle is pure bakery luxury on top of your Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls.

How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls

Step 1: Prep Your Baking Sheet and Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper — this keeps the rolls from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze. Having everything ready means you can move from mixing to baking in no time!

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

Grab a small bowl and mix your softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until totally smooth. This creamy mixture sets the perfect base for your Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls, adding both richness and a touch of tang.

Step 3: Prepare the Puff Pastry

Unfold your thawed puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface. Gently roll it out just enough to even the thickness and smooth any creases, but don’t go too thin — you want those flaky layers to hold up!

Step 4: Spread the Filling

Using an offset spatula or butter knife, evenly spread the cream cheese mixture across the pastry, leaving about a half-inch border on all sides. This border helps seal everything in as you roll and keeps the creamy goodness from leaking out.

Step 5: Add the Blueberries

Spoon the blueberry preserves or scatter fresh blueberries over the cream cheese layer. Gently spread the preserves to cover the surface, or nestle the berries evenly across. Every bite deserves a burst of blueberry flavor!

Step 6: Roll and Slice

Starting with the long edge, carefully roll up the pastry into a tight log. Use a sharp knife to slice the log into eight equal pieces. If you find the pastry getting sticky, dust your knife with a bit of flour between cuts.

Step 7: Arrange and Brush with Egg Wash

Lay the rolls flat-side down on your prepared baking sheet, giving them a little breathing room. Whisk together the egg and water, then brush the tops of each roll — this egg wash gives the finished Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls their signature shine and deep golden color.

Step 8: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are wonderfully puffed and the tops are a beautiful golden brown. Let them cool slightly so the filling sets up — if you can resist digging in right away!

Step 9: Top and Serve

If you’d like, dust the cooled rolls with powdered sugar or drizzle with a simple glaze. You can also sprinkle with turbinado sugar before baking for extra crunch.

How to Serve Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls

Garnishes

A simple dusting of powdered sugar always feels festive, but a drizzle of vanilla or lemon glaze adds extra sweetness and shine. For a pop of freshness, try scattering a few extra fresh blueberries or a little lemon zest over the top, making your Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls look absolutely irresistible.

Side Dishes

Pair these rolls with a creamy latte, strong cup of coffee, or a pot of fragrant herbal tea for a comforting breakfast or afternoon treat. If you’re hosting brunch, a fruit salad or lightly dressed greens balance the richness of the rolls beautifully.

Creative Ways to Present

Arrange the rolls on a pretty platter with a little ribbon of parchment underneath, or stack on a rustic cake stand for a “wow” centerpiece. For parties, serve in cupcake wrappers or individual ramekins. Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls also make a sweet surprise for a breakfast-in-bed tray!

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

Leftover Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day, or in the refrigerator for up to three days. Make sure they’re completely cool before storing to keep the pastry from getting soggy.

Freezing

For longer storage, you can freeze these rolls after baking. Let them cool completely, then wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Freeze for up to one month. Thaw in the fridge overnight for best results.

Reheating

To revive that fresh-baked texture, warm your Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls in a 300°F oven for about 8–10 minutes, or pop them in the microwave for about 20 seconds if you’re in a hurry. The pastry crisps up and the filling gets supremely gooey again.

FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! Frozen blueberries work well — use them straight from the freezer to avoid extra juiciness that can make the rolls soggy. Just toss them in a bit of flour before scattering over the cream cheese layer.

How can I make these rolls gluten-free?

Swap in your favorite gluten-free puff pastry or crescent roll dough if you need a gluten-free version. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free, so you won’t miss out on any flavor.

Can I prepare Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls ahead of time?

You can assemble the rolls up to the slicing stage, cover, and chill them in the fridge overnight. In the morning, just brush with egg wash and bake — perfect for make-ahead brunch magic!

What glaze works best on top?

A simple glaze made from powdered sugar, a splash of milk, and a little vanilla or lemon juice is wonderful. It adds sweetness and an extra touch of bakery-style shine to the finished rolls.

Why is my filling leaking out during baking?

This can happen if too much filling is used or the edges aren’t sealed well. Make sure to leave a border around the pastry and don’t overfill. Even if some leaks out, the rolls will still taste delicious and look wonderfully rustic!
