Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1/3 cup sugar (for blueberry filling)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry)
  • Optional: glaze or cream cheese frosting for topping

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk, yeast, and sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 5–10 minutes.
  2. Add melted butter, eggs, salt, and flour. Knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  3. Meanwhile, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.
  4. In a saucepan, cook blueberries with sugar and lemon juice over medium heat until juicy. Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened. Let cool.
  5. Punch down dough and roll into a large rectangle.
  6. Spread cheesecake filling evenly, then top with cooled blueberry mixture.
  7. Roll dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 slices. Arrange in a greased baking dish.
  8. Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 30–45 minutes.
  9. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until golden brown.
  10. Cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze or spread with cream cheese frosting before serving.

Notes

  • Add a lemon glaze for brightness or cream cheese frosting for richness.
  • Swap blueberries with raspberries or blackberries for variation.
  • Prepare ahead by refrigerating shaped rolls overnight; bake the next day after bringing to room temperature.
  • Store at room temperature for 1 day, in the fridge up to 4 days, or freeze up to 2 months.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to soften before serving.
