Blueberry Cheesecake Heaven Rolls 

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture. Pour this into the flour mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
4. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the blueberries.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

1. Roll Out the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick.
2. Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the cheesecake filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Roll the Dough: Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
4. Slice the Rolls: Cut the log into 12 equal slices and place them in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 4: Second Rise

1. Let Them Rise: Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the rolls rise for another 30-45 minutes, or until puffy.

Step 5: Bake the Rolls

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Bake: Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.

Step 6: Glaze and Serve

1. Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the warm rolls.
2. Serve: Enjoy these delicious rolls warm or at room temperature. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea!

Tips for Perfect Blueberry Cheesecake Heaven Rolls

• Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
• Fresh or Frozen Blueberries: Both fresh and frozen blueberries work well. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding to the filling to avoid excess moisture.
• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months—just reheat in the oven before serving!

Variations to Try

• Berry Medley: Substitute the blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or a mix for a different flavor profile.
• Lemon Zest: Add a teaspoon of lemon zest to the cheesecake filling for a refreshing citrus twist.
• Nutty Crunch: Fold in chopped pecans or walnuts into the filling for added texture and flavor.
