🥣Instructions
Step 1 | Open the Crescent Roll Can
- Open the crescent roll can and separate the rolls into triangles.
- Lay them flat on a piece of parchment paper while you prepare the sweetened cream cheese.
Step 2 | Make the Sweetened Cream Cheese
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together.
- Beat for a few minutes or until everything is combined and smooth.
Step 3 | Add the Filling
- Spread about a tablespoon or two of the cream cheese on top of the crescent roll triangles.
- Then add a tablespoon of the blueberry filling on top of the sweetened cream cheese.
Step 4 | Roll up the Crescents
- Beginning at the larger end, start rolling up the crescent rolls.
- You want to try to pinch and tuck the ends together so the cream cheese mixture or blueberry pie filling doesn't seep out while baking.
Step 5 | Brush with the Egg White
- Place the crescent rolls on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Brush each crescent roll with the egg white.
- This will help give the rolls a nice shiny look.
Step 6 | Baking Instructions

- Set them aside for a few minutes to cool while you prepare the glaze.
Step 8: Prepare the Glaze

- Drizzle on top of the slightly cooled crescent rolls.

How would you do this if using fresh blueberries or strawberries? Do you have to add anything to the fruit?
Lois says
You could add sliced fresh strawberries or blueberries on top of the cream cheese and bake as directed in this recipe. It won't be the same recipe, but still delicious.
Amanda says
I had fresh blueberries. I mixed with sugar, cornstarch, and water. Boiled until it got a little thick. I used that as my filling. So basically a fresh blueberry pie filling.
Lois says
That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing.
