Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen, unfilled croissants (about 8 croissants)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the croissants in a single layer in the prepared baking dish. Do not separate them; leave them in their rolled or crescent shapes.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the granulated sugar and beat until combined.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the milk until the filling is uniform.
- Gently fold the blueberries into the cream cheese mixture.
- Spoon the cream cheese and blueberry mixture evenly over the croissants in the baking dish, allowing some to settle between the pastry pieces.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown and the filling is set.
- Let the bake cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Dust with powdered sugar before you serve it.
Notes
- If you use frozen blueberries, do not thaw them first; add them directly to the filling mixture.
- You can prepare this entire dish the night before, cover it, and refrigerate it. Add about 5 to 10 minutes to the baking time if baking directly from the refrigerator.
- This bake reheats well in the microwave for a quick morning treat.
