Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Blueberry Rolls
- In a saucepan, combine frozen blueberries, granulated sugar, and corn starch over medium heat. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Set aside 2 tablespoons for frosting.
- Warm whole milk to about 110°F and combine it with sugar in a bowl. Let the yeast bloom for 5-10 minutes until foamy. In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and softened butter. Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface until smooth.
- Shape the kneaded dough into a ball and place in a greased bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled in size—about 1 to 1.5 hours.
- In a mixing bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamed together. Add fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and salt, mixing until smooth.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the lemon filling evenly across the dough, then spoon prepared blueberry jam on top. Roll the dough tightly into a log and cut into 12 equal pieces.
- Pour heavy cream evenly between the rolls in the baking dish. Cover with a towel and allow to rise again until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Once the rolls have risen, bake for 22-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the rolls cool, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually mix in sifted powdered sugar, blueberry jam, and lemon zest until fluffy.
- Allow the rolls to cool for about 10 minutes before generously frosting them with the creamy frosting.
