Ingredients
Scale
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
- ¾ cup warm milk (110°F/43°C)
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsps unsalted butter, melted
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tbsps sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 2 tbsps sugar
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 12 tbsps milk
Instructions
- Yeast Activation: Combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a bowl, allowing the mixture to bloom for 5 minutes until frothy and aromatic.
- Dough Formation: Incorporate flour, salt, melted butter, and egg into the yeast mixture, kneading thoroughly for 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes silky and elastic. Allow the dough to rise in a covered environment for approximately 1 hour, expanding to double its original volume.
- Cheesecake Filling Preparation: Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency with no lumps.
- Blueberry Compote Creation: Simmer blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens and develops a glossy appearance. Remove from heat and cool completely.
- Roll Assembly: Stretch the dough into a 12×10-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Evenly distribute the cream cheese mixture, then artfully layer the blueberry compote across the surface.
- Rolling and Slicing: Tightly roll the dough from the long edge, creating a compact log. Slice into 12 uniform rolls, positioning them in a generously greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Baking Process: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes until they transform into a golden, enticing shade.
- Glaze Finishing: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until a smooth, pourable glaze forms. Drizzle generously over the warm rolls and serve immediately for maximum enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure milk is warm (not hot) around 110°F to prevent killing yeast microorganisms, which stops dough from rising properly.
- Knead until smooth and elastic, with minimal stickiness; add extra flour sparingly if too wet to avoid dense rolls.
- Leave small border around dough edges when spreading cheesecake and blueberry fillings to prevent leakage during rolling and baking.
- Allow rolls to cool slightly before glazing to prevent runny, thin glaze and maintain optimal sweetness and texture.
