Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Sweet Roll Dough

• 1 batch sweet roll dough (homemade or store-bought)

Filling

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• ⅓ cup sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup blueberry pie filling (or homemade compote)

Icing

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2–3 tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Roll out the dough: On a floured surface, roll the sweet roll dough into a large rectangle, about 12×16 inches, ensuring an even thickness for consistent baking.
2. Prepare cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
3. Spread cream cheese layer: Evenly spread the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a small border on the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.
4. Add blueberry filling: Gently spoon and spread the blueberry pie filling over the cream cheese layer, distributing it evenly without mixing the layers.
5. Roll and slice dough: Starting from the long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 evenly sized rolls, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick each.
6. Let rolls rise: Place the rolls in a greased baking dish spaced slightly apart, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm area until they become puffy and nearly double in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.
7. Bake the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they turn golden brown on top and are cooked through.
8. Make the icing: While the rolls cool slightly but are still warm, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 to 3 tablespoons of milk until smooth and pourable. Adjust milk quantity to get desired consistency.
9. Glaze and serve: Drizzle the icing generously over the warm rolls and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

• For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
• Blueberry pie filling can be substituted with fresh blueberries cooked with sugar and lemon juice to make a quick compote.
• If using store-bought dough, slightly reduce rising time as some doughs are pre-fermented.
• These rolls can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen before baking.
