Ingredients
Scale
For the dough:
- 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
For the cheesecake filling:
- 6 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the blueberry filling:
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese softened
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.
- Add remaining sugar, egg, melted butter, flour, and salt. Mix and knead the dough for about 6–8 minutes until soft and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Make the cheesecake filling by beating together cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. For the blueberry filling, combine blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until thickened. Let cool completely.
- Roll out the risen dough into a 12×16-inch rectangle. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly, then add the blueberry filling. Roll into a log, slice into 12 rolls, and place in a baking dish. Let rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes until golden. Make the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over warm rolls and serve.
Notes
- You can prepare the rolls the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Let them come to room temperature and rise for 30 minutes before baking.
- Frozen blueberries can be used—no need to thaw.
