What You’ll Need

This is one of those recipes where you might peek into your pantry and realize you’ve got most of it already. Here’s the lineup:

• 1 can of regular crescent rolls
• 1/4 cup blueberry jam
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar, divided
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, divided
• 1 tablespoon flour
• Pinch of sea salt
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar

How to Make Blueberry Almond Crescent Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Trust me, it’s worth it for easy cleanup!
2. In the bowl of your stand mixer with the paddle attachment—or just a handheld mixer if you’re like me and can’t be bothered—mix together the cream cheese, blueberry jam, 2 tablespoons of confectioner’s sugar, flour, sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract. Blend until smooth, which should take about 30 seconds.
3. Spread your crescent roll wedges out on a clean work surface. You know the drill: take a generous tablespoon of that heavenly cream cheese mixture and plop it on the wide end of each wedge.
4. Roll ’em up! Start from the wide end and roll until the narrow end is snug underneath. Nestle them onto your prepared baking sheet.
5. Whisk the egg and water together to create an egg wash, then brush it over your crescent rolls. Don’t skip this step—it gives them that gorgeous golden glow.
6. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. This stuff is like edible glitter, trust me.
7. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until they’re puffed and golden. The anticipation will build as your kitchen fills with the scent of warm blueberries and almond.
8. While they cool slightly on a wire rack, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar, remaining 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract, and milk. Whisk until smooth. Taste and add a pinch of sea salt if it’s too sweet for your liking.
9. Drizzle that silky glaze over your crescent rolls and serve immediately. Enjoy the blissful combo of flaky, sweet, and creamy!

Cook’s Notes

• Don’t overfill the crescent rolls. It may be tempting, but too much filling can cause a messy overflow.
• If you don’t have turbinado sugar, regular sugar works in a pinch, though it won’t have the same crunch.
• The rolls are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
• For make-ahead magic, prepare the cream cheese filling a day in advance and store it covered in the fridge. Let it come to room temp before using.

Make It Your Own

• Swap the blueberry jam for raspberry or strawberry if that’s more your jam (pun intended!).
• Add a dash of cinnamon to the cream cheese mixture for an extra layer of flavor.
• Use orange marmalade and replace the almond extract with vanilla for a citrusy twist.
• Feeling nutty? Add a sprinkle of chopped almonds inside or on top for added crunch.
