Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Blueberry Filling

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

For the Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tbsp milk or heavy cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

Prepare the Dough

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook for 5–7 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Make the Blueberry Filling

  1. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the mixture thickens and resembles a jam-like consistency. Let it cool completely.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Assemble the Rolls

  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×16-inch rectangle.
  2. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, then spoon the cooled blueberry filling on top. Swirl gently with a spatula or knife.
  3. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge to form a log. Cut into 12 even pieces using a sharp knife or dental floss.
  4. Place the rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Cover and let rise for 30–45 minutes until puffy.

Bake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake the rolls for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Make the Glaze

  1. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed.
  2. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Assemble the rolls the night before, cover, and refrigerate. Let them come to room temperature and rise slightly before baking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze unbaked rolls after assembly. Thaw overnight in the fridge, let rise, and bake as directed.
