Step-by-Step
- Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
- If using flour, gently toss it with the blueberries. Separate the crescent dough into eight pieces and flatten each one into a small circle, keeping the center slightly thicker than the edges.
- Place about 1 tablespoon of cream-cheese filling and 1–2 teaspoons of blueberries in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough up and around the filling, pinching all seams firmly closed.
- Arrange the filled dough seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes if the dough has become soft or difficult to handle.
- Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with graham-cracker crumbs if desired. Bake for 16–20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
- Cool the baked bombs for at least 10 minutes because the filling will be very hot. Whisk the powdered sugar with enough milk or lemon juice to create a thick drizzle, then spoon it over the cooled pastries.
Notes
Seal every opening carefully and avoid overfilling. Fresh blueberries are preferred; if using frozen berries, keep them frozen and expect an additional 2–4 minutes of baking time. Store cooled bombs covered in the refrigerator and serve gently rewarmed.
