Blackberry Cheesecake Dessert for Two
What a great idea! A frozen roll is flattened to be the flaky and tender crust for a creamy, dreamy fruit dessert for two.
Prep 20 min | Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 Pillsbury® Oven Baked frozen butterflake dinner rolls (from 20.3 ounce bag)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon grated lemon peel
- 4 ounces fresh blackberries or 1 cup Cascadian Farm® frozen organic blackberries, thawed, drained
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place frozen rolls on a microwavable plate. Microwave uncovered on HIGH for 10 seconds; turn over and microwave 10 seconds longer.
- Press and stretch each roll into 4 inch round with a 1/4 inch high rim around outer edge. Using a fork, prick dough generously. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray. Place rounds 2 inches apart on cookie sheet; brush surfaces with beaten egg.
- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over rounds.
- Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. After 5 minutes, prick crust if it starts to bubble.
- Cool completely, about 10 minutes.
- In the same small bowl, beat cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth.
- Beat in powdered sugar, whipping cream and lemon peel. Spread half over top of each round; top with blackberries.
Notes
No blackberries in sight? Try it with raspberries - simply delicious!
