Susan
These Easy Blueberry Sweet Rolls are a delightful blend of flaky pastry, sweet blueberry filling, and a smooth vanilla glaze. With bursts of fresh blueberries and a hint of lemon zest, they make a perfect treat for any occasion. The rolls are soft on the inside with a slight crunch on the outside, and the glaze adds just the right amount of sweetness to tie everything together.

Prep Time 15 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • For the Rolls
  • 1 package refrigerated crescent roll dough or puff pastry for a flakier option
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • For the Glaze
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 –2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking dish.
  • Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the crescent dough to form a rectangle. If using perforated dough, pinch seams to seal.
  • Make the Blueberry Filling: In a small bowl, mix blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until blueberries are evenly coated.
  • Fill and Roll the Dough: Spread the blueberry mixture evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Roll up the dough tightly from the long side and slice into 1-inch rolls.
  • Arrange and Bake: Place the rolls, cut side up, in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and the blueberries are bubbling. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Serve: Drizzle glaze over the warm rolls. For an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle additional lemon zest over the glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Use Frozen Blueberries: If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before mixing with the filling ingredients to prevent excess moisture.
  • Try Puff Pastry: For a flakier result, substitute crescent roll dough with puff pastry. Just roll it out slightly before filling.
  • Add Cream Cheese: Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the dough before adding the blueberries for a richer filling.
  • Experiment with Other Fruits: Substitute blueberries with other berries, diced apples, or even peaches for a different flavor profile.
