Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.2️⃣ Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Mix until smooth and well-combined.3️⃣ Assemble the Rolls
Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface.
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of the pastry, leaving about ½ inch from the edges.
Evenly distribute the fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen blueberries) over the cream cheese layer.4️⃣ Roll and Slice
Carefully roll the pastry from one edge to the other to form a log.
Slice the log into 8–10 even pieces, depending on the size of the rolls you want.5️⃣ Egg Wash and Topping (Optional)
For a golden, crispy finish, beat the egg and brush a light layer over the tops of the rolls.
Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it over the egg-washed rolls for added sweetness and crunch.6️⃣ Bake the Rolls
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and puffed up.7️⃣ Serve and Enjoy
Allow the rolls to cool for a few minutes before serving. For an extra indulgent treat, drizzle with a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk.
