Blueberry cheesecake swirl rolls are soft, fluffy buns filled with tangy cream cheese and sweet blueberry filling, finished with a vanilla glaze. They’re a bakery-worthy treat perfect for brunch or dessert.

  • Total Time: 2.5 hours
  • Yield: 12 rolls

Ingredients

  • For the dough:
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 eggs
  • For the filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • For the glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk and mix with a pinch of sugar and yeast. Let sit until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
  2. Add remaining sugar, melted butter, eggs, salt, and flour. Mix to form a soft dough and knead until smooth.
  3. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In a small pot, cook blueberries with cornstarch and lemon juice until thick. Cool.
  5. Roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread cream cheese filling over it, then swirl on blueberry mixture.
  6. Roll up tightly and slice into 12 rolls. Place in a greased dish and let rise for 30–45 minutes.
  7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
  8. Whisk glaze ingredients and drizzle over warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Use raspberries or blackberries for a different twist.
  • Chill dough overnight in the fridge for a make-ahead option.
  • Store-bought dough can be used for a quicker version.
  • Add lemon zest to the dough or filling for extra brightness.
  • Freeze baked rolls and reheat when needed for a fresh treat.
