How to serve Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
Serve these rolls warm, drizzled with honey or a glaze if you wish. They are wonderful as is, but you can pair them with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat! 🍦
How to store Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to regain their soft texture.
Tips for preparing Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and spreading.
- Feel free to use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are not available; just make sure to thaw and drain them first.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet, as the rolls need space to rise and brown properly.

- Spice it up: Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cream cheese mixture for added flavor.
