Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 12 pieces frozen Rhodes rolls, thawed overnight Frozen rolls work great; homemade or other brands can be used.
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature Ensure it’s softened for a smooth filling.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided Used to sweeten both the filling and the blueberry mixture.
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries Use ripe, organic berries for best flavor.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Thaw the Rhodes rolls on a greased baking sheet, covered with greased plastic wrap, for 3 to 5 hours at room temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, beat together the room temperature cream cheese and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • In a small skillet over medium heat, combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and blueberries. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the blueberries start to burst.

Assembly

  • Once the rolls have doubled in size, flatten each one into a disc and add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture to the center, folding the edges to seal tightly.

Baking

  • Place the filled rolls seam-side down on top of the warm blueberry mixture in the skillet. Bake for 30 to 34 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.

Serving

  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes before carefully inverting onto a serving platter and serve warm.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven for the best quality. You can prepare the filling a day ahead for convenience.
