Recipe: Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
For the Filling:
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
- In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Add sugar, melted butter, salt, egg, and 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Gradually add the remaining flour, stirring until the dough comes together.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the blueberries.
- Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the cream cheese-blueberry filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough tightly from the long side and cut it into 12 equal slices.
- Place the slices in a greased baking dish, cover them, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
For the Glaze:
- In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the warm Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls.
Tips and Variations
- If using frozen blueberries, pat them dry before adding them to the filling to prevent excess moisture.
