    Blueberries: choose fresh juicy blueberries that are still firm to the touch.

    Cream cheese

    Powdered sugar

    Vanilla extract

    Lemon juice

    Salt

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
    2. Unwrap pizza dough from the can and lay flat on a lightly floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough slightly to flatten it out evenly.
    3. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and melted butter.
    4. Spread brown sugar mixture evenly on top of the dough, Spreading evenly over the entire surface. 
    5. Top sugar mixture with fresh blueberries, distributing evenly. 
    6. Tuck one end of the dough in (longways) and roll tight until the entire log is formed. Some brown sugar mixture may fall out, that’s okay. 
    7. Using a sharp knife cut the cinnamon rolls into 8 equal pieces. Carefully hold each cinnamon roll together as you cut. 
    8. Place each cut roll into the prepared baking dish, allowing rolls to touch slightly.
    9. Bake cinnamon rolls in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the dough is cooked through and dough is lightly golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
    10. Near the end of the cook time, begin to prepare the frosting. 
    11. In a large bowl, add the softened butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Using an electric mixer, beat ingredients until smooth.
    12. Using offset spatula, spread cream cheese frosting over top of the sweet rolls immediately after they are out of the oven. Serve immediately.

    📖 Variations

    💭 Tips

    • When cutting the cinnamon roll dough and placing them into the 9x13 baking dish, be careful to hold them together tightly, pinching them from all corners while transporting them. 
    • Don't be alarmed by the juices that will accumulate in the baking pan when adding rolls to the pan, it will evaporate and cook into the rolls creating a flavorful sticky sweetness!
    • The berries and cinnamon rolls mixture should be soft and “gooey” or “sticky” after baking.

    🙋 FAQ's

    Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh ones?

    Yes, frozen blueberries can be used in this recipe. Just make sure to thaw and drain any liquid from the bowl and then pat them dry with a paper towel before topping the cinnamon sugar mixture.

    How can I reheat the leftover cinnamon rolls?

    To reheat the leftover cinnamon rolls, you can place them in a microwave-safe dish and warm them up for about 20-30 seconds per roll. Alternatively, you can preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake them for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through.
