Ingredients
12frozenRhodes rolls,(see thawing options included in instructions)
4ounces(½ package) cream cheese,room temperature
½cup(100 g) granulated sugar,divided
3cups(444 g) fresh blueberries
Instructions
Remove the Rhodes rolls from the package. Place frozen rolls onto a large greased baking sheet. Cover with greased plastic wrap.
To thaw the rolls, you can either place them on the counter to thaw and rise or let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight.Countertop Thaw: Place the baking sheet in a warm location and allow them to thaw and rise in the pan. They should be doubled in size. From frozen, that will take between 3-5 hours.Overnight Thaw: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, take the rolls out of the refrigerator and place them in a warm location to rise until doubled (about 1-2 hours).
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the cream cheese and ¼ cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
To a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, add the fresh blueberries and the remaining granulated sugar.
Working with one roll at a time, flatten it on a lightly floured surface to about 3 inches wide. Evenly spoon the cream cheese mixture into the center of each roll. Wrap the dough around the filling, pinching the edges to seal and form a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Place each filled roll seam-side down on top of the blueberry mixture in the skillet.
Bake until the rolls are golden brown, about 30-34 minutes.
Let the cream cheese blueberry bombs cool slightly for 5-10 minutes.
Once slightly cooled, carefully invert the dish onto a large serving platter so that the blueberry mixture is on top of the rolls.* Serve warm.
Notes
*If you prefer not to invert the rolls, you can serve them directly from the skillet. The blueberry mixture will be on the bottom, more like a cobbler. They will still be delicious!
