Ingredients

  • 2 tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough or Crescent Dough Sheet
  • 1 cup Blueberry Jelly/Sauce/Preserves homemade recipe bellow
  • 1 8 Oz Cream Cheese Softened at Room Temperature
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg Yolk
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice
  • Homemade SAUCE This makes about 1 cup of filling
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries 8oz
  • 5 Tablespoons warm water
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice optional but recommended for best flavor
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • HOMEMADE BLUEBERRY SAUCE - Whisk together the warm water/lemon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl.
  • Combine the blueberries and sugar in a small saucepan over low-medium heat, for about 4-5 minutes, until blueberries just start to break apart.
  • Mix in the cornstarch/water. Gently simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken. Set aside and let it cool to room temperature before using.
  • In a standing mixer, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. About 2 minutes. Add sugar and beat another 2 minutes scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add vanilla, lemon juice, egg, and mix until combined. Set aside.
  • Unroll the crescent dough on the baking sheet, separating the triangles. Cut each crescent roll triangle in half lengthwise into two pieces.
  • (Or cut into triangles using a pizza cutter, or a sharp knife if using crescent roll sheet, triangles should be about 2 - 2 1/2 inches wide and about 9-10 inches high).
  • Spread a thin layer of cream cheese mixture over each triangle and then spread about 1 Tablespoon of the raspberry sauce on top.
  • Starting with the largest end of the dough, gently roll each triangle into a crescent and arrange onto the baking sheet leaving 2 ½ inches apart.
  • Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm. Drizzle with milk and sugar glaze or dust with powdered sugar over the crescent rolls if desired.
