An easy and impressive pastry hack for brunch or dessert, featuring a creamy lemon-cheese filling and blueberries baked inside a pull-apart crescent dough ring.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated crescent rolls
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to form a rectangle.
  3. In a small bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Sprinkle the fresh blueberries over the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Carefully roll up the dough lengthwise, starting from one of the long sides, to form a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  7. Gently shape the log into a ring on the prepared baking sheet, tucking the ends underneath to connect.
  8. Using a sharp knife, make several cuts from the outside edge towards the center of the ring, creating pull-apart sections. Do not cut all the way through.
  9. Brush the top of the ring with the beaten egg wash.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  11. While the ring is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl to create a simple glaze.
  12. Let the crescent ring cool slightly on the baking sheet before drizzling with the glaze.
  13. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a stronger lemon flavor, add an extra 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest.
  • You can substitute frozen blueberries for fresh, but toss them with a tablespoon of flour to prevent them from bleeding too much.
  • Add a sprinkle of coarse sugar on top before baking for extra sparkle and crunch.
  • This pastry is delicious served with a cup of coffee or tea.
