Flaky, buttery croissants filled with a light, sweetened cream cheese and fresh blueberries, topped with a vanilla glaze. Perfect for a quick and special breakfast or brunch treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (about 8 ounces / 227 grams) refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh blueberries, rinsed and patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for sweetening the cream cheese filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, divided
  • 2 tablespoons milk (whole or 2%) for the glaze
  • 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar (for the glaze)
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 ounces (113 grams) softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Unroll the crescent dough on a clean surface. Separate into 8 triangles if pre-scored, or cut into 8 triangles.
  4. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese filling onto the wide end of each triangle. Top with 6-7 fresh blueberries, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, tucking the point underneath to seal. Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
  6. Brush each croissant lightly with the beaten egg for a golden shine.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
  8. While baking, whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons milk until smooth to make the glaze.
  9. Let croissants cool for about 5 minutes on the pan, then drizzle the vanilla glaze over the warm pastries.
  10. Serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese at room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not overfill croissants to prevent bursting. Brush egg wash lightly for a delicate golden crust. Drizzle glaze when croissants are warm but not hot to avoid melting it off. Frozen blueberries can be used if thawed and drained well.
