How to Make Blueberry Cheesecake Rolls:
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine sugar, melted butter, salt, eggs, yeast mixture, and 2 cups of flour. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- While dough is rising, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until blueberries burst and mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Punch down dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×18-inch rectangle.
- Spread cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Spoon blueberry compote over the cheesecake filling.
- Starting with a long edge, roll up dough tightly into a log. Pinch seams to seal. Cut into 12 equal slices.
- Place rolls in a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While rolls are baking, prepare the glaze. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust consistency with more milk if needed.
- Remove rolls from oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with glaze before serving.
