Weight Watchers Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls
Ingredients:
- 3 oz light cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (or a sugar-free alternative)
- 1 (8 oz) tube of reduced-fat crescent roll dough (8 rolls)
- 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the light cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Separate the reduced-fat crescent rolls into 8 triangles along the perforated seams. Place a triangle of dough on a clean, flat surface, with the short, wide end facing you and the long triangle pointing away.
- Spread a small amount of the cream cheese mixture (approximately 1/2 tablespoon) across the bottom third of the dough triangle. Top the cream cheese with a few fresh blueberries.
- Roll the dough forward, starting with the end closest to you, all the way to the tip of the triangle, ensuring the blueberries are tucked in.
- Place the finished roll onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and repeat with the remaining ingredients to create 8 rolls.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown. Serve warm!
Tips:
- Light Cream Cheese: Using light cream cheese significantly reduces the points without compromising flavor.
- Sugar-Free Alternative: If you want to lower the points even further, use a sugar-free powdered sugar substitute.
- Portion Control: Enjoy these rolls as a sweet treat without overindulging. Pair them with a cup of tea or coffee for a satisfying snack.
Estimated Points:
- Each roll is approximately 3-4 Weight Watchers points, depending on the brand of crescent roll dough and the specific type of sweetener used.
