Easy Blueberry Cream Cheese Braid
Made with crescent rolls, filled with Blueberries and Cream Cheese then drizzled with a lemon flavored icing is what makes this one amazing treat! You can put this together in no time at all. It is sure to be a big hit.
This is another recipe from the cooking class that I went to. I apologize for the picture quality but not being in my own kitchen and a classroom setting made it difficult.
Ingredients – The chef had the ingredients
measured out ahead of time to save time.
In a small bowl combine the
blueberries, flour and 1 tsp of sugar.
*********************
The chef had us put lemon zest in ours, however,
that did not work for me as it was crunchy
after it baked. I have left it off of the recipe card.
In a medium bowl whisk the cream
cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and
lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
Cut parchment paper to fit a cookie
sheet. Unroll the crescent rolls from the
can and place it onto parchment paper.
Pinch the seams from the triangles together
and roll the dough into a rectangular shape (a
little larger) so it will still fit on the cookie sheet.
Place the parchment paper and
dough onto the cookie sheet.
Cut diagonal strips on both long
sides about 1 & 1/2″ long. Make
sure you have the same amount
of strips on both sides.
Place the cream cheese mixture evenly
down the center of the dough.
Add the blueberry mixture evenly
on top of the cream cheese.
Fold over the strips one at a time from
left to right covering the filling (the best you
can) and making a braid, tucking in the ends.
Bake for 15 – 20 minutes in a
preheated 375 degree oven.
Let cool.
Whisk the powdered sugar with enough
lemon juice to make a consistency that
will drizzle over the top and serve.

I like the way you folded the strips…..looks delicious!!!
It is a fun recipe to make not to mention delicious! Thank you!
Such a delightful recipe 😍
It really is and you can use different fruit for so many different tastes.
🤗
That looks delicious!
Thanks Laci this was my favorite recipe from the classes so far.
This looks absolutely amazing! Delicious xoxo
Thank you it is a wonderful combination.
“OMG!” This looks fantastic! I almost passed it up, because I don’t eat a lot of sugary things, but I was impressed that there’s only one teaspoon of sugar in the filling. (I can always modify the icing.) Haven’t tried this one yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s a keeper. 🙂
There is sugar in the cream cheese too but you could use a sugar substitute. Thank you for your nice comment!
Cream cheese recipes are easy to do without sugar – stevia works best for me.
This looks so yummy. I will very soon try this at home. Keep sharing. Hope you will visit my blog to see my latest posts.
Thank you Sumit. You can also use puff pastry.
This looks delicious and easy . Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! It is very easy you’re welcome!
Blueberries like that – with a little more cream ? 🙂
Thank you, dear Diane – amitiés
Can never have too much cream…lol You’re welcome!
Yummy!
Thanks so much Alfiano!
Yassssss!!!!! This is the type of a thing I’ve been looking for!!!! Something where you just mix berries with flour and sugar and put it in a prepared dough of some sort!!!! Thank you!!!!!
Can’t wait to try this.
You’re welcome! You could also use puff pastry instead of croissants.
Just counting the days til the weekend so I can buy some berries.
It looks delicious and my mom was a fan of coffee cakes and danishes, so she would have loved this. You are sure having fun with your class Diane!
I am having fun Linda. Another class tomorrow. Thank you!
Retirement is more fun than you thought it would be Diane!
I am so frustrated WP is not allowing me to comment on your site. It is letting me like some blogs/posts and not others. It keeps logging me off and makes me log back in….errrrrrrr! Anyhow, I wanted to commented on how cute Parker looked in his hat and that I couldn’t believe the city didn’t know how many years!
I wonder why – I certainly did not block you. i can reach out to WordPress and see if they can figure it out – that is bizarre. Parker sure is a cutie – I was amazed the City didn’t know as this Park is a real gem. I contacted them to tell them about all the graffiti. There is lots of it, and they deface the trees, and natural places as well the park benches, and the trashcans and walking path asphalt.
But inside the inline skating rink, they wrote stuff about “you will die” … they said they’d have someone paint it over and ask me if they did this yet – nope. I did not want to write this on my site … I’m sure gang members are not reading my blog, but it is also published online for our local paper, so I take no chances disparaging anyone. Thanks for letting me know about the problem posting – hope they can correct it. I’ve got to get a move on … still dark a little out there.
It’s not just your site, it’s random and only when I try to go to their site after they comment on mine. Anyhow, how sad people can’t find better things to do then destroy parks! Have a great weekend Linda it is going to be gorgeous!
OK, that is good to know I’m not the only one. Now someone told me that they wrote to WordPress one time because every time they sent a message to one blogger it ended up in their SPAM filter. WordPress said if they got a post in Reader and replied right away that it might be deemed SPAM. I wonder if that could happen? I doubt most people reply right away to a Reader post.
No mine says I am using the wrong URL yet it works every other way. I haven’t changed anything. I will work on it.
Technology certain is a pain sometimes! Thank you for trying – have you tried another browser – sometimes that works. I cannot do captions on WordPress photos unless I use Opera browser – Chrome and Internet Explorer (I still use Windows 7) only will allow the occasional caption, the rest are bare – makes no sense to me at all.
That’s a great idea Linda!!! I will try that! Thank you ❤❤❤
You’re welcome Diane – hope that does the trick!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing another great recipe.🌹🙏
You’re welcome!
🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹🙏🌹
You are so sweet!
Thanks for the lovely comment.🌹🙏
This looks impressive – but nice and easy to put together. I’m going to try this soon.
It was my favorite recipe from the classes so far. Thank you Lillie!
Diane, this looks wonderful. I’m add it to my “to-do” list! I love blueberries! Thanks for sharing this recipe.
It was very good Janet….you’re welcome!
Oh my goodness, this looks so easy and delicious. Yummy.
It is Carla and you can do the same thing only with puff pastry too! ❤
Hmmm!! This is a must try!! Can’t wait to taste it!!

Thank you Donna! ❤
Folding over the strips I guess is the difficult part for me but looks really delicious 🙂
Not hard at all. Just go left, right, left, right. You can’t mess it up as long as you cover as much as you can. The dough just bakes all together and doesn’t have to look perfect.
Thank you Diane! I will try as it really really good 🙂
This is so delicious looking!
Thank you it disappeared fast!
I can imagine !!
Looks soooooo goooood! 😋
Thanks Emily it was…..note I said was. hahahahaha
Hi Diane, I made this today and it went down very well with my friends and I. I actually wrote up a short blog post about it. It isn’t as pretty as yours, but it was as good as I thought it would be – and some! Thanks for the recipe!
Way to go Emily! I am so glad it turned out for you and that everyone liked it. I appreciate you telling me! ❤️
Yummy, I will be trying this one. Any excuse to bake treats! xx
I love the way you think! You can use puff pastry instead of crescent rolls too.
Another one I’ll have to make 🙂
You’re going to be busy…lol ❤
Totally lol
Thank you for sharing this recipe! ❤️
Absolutely delicious recipes
Thanks so much!!!
Reblogged this on Les pérégrinations de Liondors.
Thanks so much!
Yummy! Pictures are great. Tough to do it all while following the teachers instructions.
Yes it sure was! Last two classes were awful! Didn’t even post from them. I was very disappointed for what it cost!
Oh sorry to hear that. Bummer.
Thank you! I won’t do any more there.
I made this today, Diane. Absolutely delicious, but for me there was too much filling. I think next time, I might try to use either two cans or see if I can buy ones that have bigger crescent rolls. My daughter and her husband loved them, but boy were they messy. Yum!
Two cans would definitely work Carla and then there is more to share! Thank you for letting me know you liked it. Now you have an excuse to make it again by trying more crescent rolls.
I made it again for a group of ladies that I played cards with and they all enjoyed it as well. It is definitely a keeper!
Nice to know it worked well Carla!!! Having it messy while playing cards would have been a sticky mess! Lol
We did well with a few less blueberries, but they loved it. I put this on my Stuff I’ve tried and liked Pinterest board.
Thanks!
