Our Delightful Blueberry Cheesecake Spirals
I've made these Blueberry Cheesecake Spirals my go-to treat whenever I'm meeting friends for coffee or attending family brunches. There's something truly wonderful about how the sharp cream cheese balances with juicy blueberries wrapped in those buttery layers. The first batch I baked filled my home with the most amazing scent, and everyone hovered around waiting for them to cool down. They've become the most requested treat for our gatherings, yet they're easy enough to make any weekend when you're in the mood.
Enjoyable at Every Occasion
What I really enjoy about these spirals is how they fit any situation. They're great with morning coffee, fancy enough for after-dinner treats, or just right when you want something tasty mid-afternoon. Everyone gets excited when they see that creamy filling with bursts of blueberry goodness. My children feel they're getting something extra special, and I'm happy they don't take much effort to throw together when we're craving something sweet.

Ingredients List
- 3 oz cream cheese softened: Get it really room temperature for easy mixing, you can use full-fat or reduced-fat versions
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract: The real stuff makes all the difference in flavor
- 2 1/2 tablespoons powdered sugar: Just enough sweetness without going overboard
- 1 tube crescent roll dough: This saves so much time and still gives you that amazing flaky texture
- 2/3 cup fresh blueberries: Try to get the juiciest ones available, but don't worry if you need to use thawed frozen ones
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Can I swap fresh blueberries with frozen ones?
Sure! Use frozen straight from the freezer. Thawed ones might leak too much juice while baking.
- → What stops the filling from spilling out?
Add less filling and seal edges tightly when rolling. Leave a small gap from the edge to avoid overflow.
- → Can I prep the rolls early?
Yes, make them up to a day in advance. Chill them unbaked and let them warm up a bit before popping in the oven.
- → How do I keep leftovers fresh?
Store in a container with a lid for up to 2 days at room temperature or 5 days in the fridge. Reheat slightly when ready to eat.
- → Can I try other fruits?
Absolutely! Small fruits like raspberries or diced strawberries work just as well. Keep them bite-sized so the dough doesn’t tear.
