I am enjoying taking fruits and vegtables that are in season and creating new things with them. Blueberries are my key ingredient these days since they are readily available. Try this fabulous breakfast treat!
Blueberry Swirls
your favorite cinnamon roll dough (or prebought dough)
1 brick or tub of cream cheese
1C +/- fresh blueberries
1/2C sugar
4 TBS of milk
lemon zest (optional)
1C icing sugar
water, milk or lemon juice for icing sugar mixture
Prepare cinnamon roll dough to the directions and roll it into a rectangle about 1/2inch in thickness. Using a mixer beat cream cheese, milk and sugar until smooth and spreadable. (optional) add lemon zest to the mixture and spread it over the cinnamon roll dough. Drop the blueberries randomly across the cream cheese and roll the dough up cinnmon roll style. Slice the roll into desired thickness and place on a greased cookie sheet. Let rise for 1/2hr(in warm conditions, cooler temps may require 1hr or more.) Bake until golden brown at about 425F. Let them cool on a baking rack as icing is prepared.
Add a few drops at a time, of just enough water, milk or lemon juice (depending on your taste)to form a liquid icing. Some people like it thick and slather icing on and others such as I, like to just drizzle it on. If you let the icing sit for a few minutes and you see it hardens just on the outer edges, then it's ready to pour.
Enjoy this treat!
