Ingredients
- Blueberry Cream Cheese
- 1 pack Crescent Roll Dough Sheets
- 1 pint Fresh Blueberries Whole
- 8 oz. Cream Cheese softened via room temperature
- 1 tbsp. All-Purpose Flour
- ¼ cup Milk Whole
- ½ cup Sugar powdered
- ¼ cup + 1 tbsp. Sugar granulated
- One lemon zest for added citrus taste
Instructions
- Before anything else, preheat the oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Put the crescent roll dough into a flat surface and roll it out into a thinner rectangular sheet by using a rolling pin. This will make sure that the sheet will be flat and evenly-distributed in each side.
- Put the granulated sugar and cream cheese together in a small bowl along with some lemon zest and mix it well until it becomes smooth.
- Spread at least two-thirds of the cream cheese mixture into the center of the crescent roll dough sheet. Make sure that you leave at least one and a half inch of dough on either side of the sheet so that the cream cheese mixture won’t spill when baked.
- Mix the blueberries with some flour, sugar and lemon zest. Place it on top of the cream cheese mixture.
- Make ten diagonal cuts in the dough parts without cream cheese mixture and pull the resulting strips over the top of blueberries.
- Place inside the oven rack and cook for at least fifteen minutes or until the braid becomes golden-brown in color. When cooked, put the remaining cream cheese mixture, powdered sugar and milk on top while letting it cool.
Notes
Whisk the powdered sugar with enough lemon juice to make a consistency that will drizzle over the top and serve.
