Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 12 pieces frozen Rhodes rolls Use classic white dinner rolls for the best result.
Filling
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature Use full-fat for rich texture.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided Pure cane sugar is recommended for better flavor.
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries Opt for organic blueberries when possible.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Take the cream cheese out about 30 minutes before you start, allowing it to soften.
  2. Prepare your baking sheet by greasing it lightly to prevent sticking.
Making the Bombs
  1. Thaw the Rhodes rolls on a greased baking sheet, spaced apart, covered with greased plastic wrap for 3-5 hours or overnight.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) about 10 minutes before the rolls have completely thawed.
  3. In a medium bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a skillet over medium heat, add fresh blueberries and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar; gently stir until the blueberries soften (about 5 minutes) and set aside.
  5. Flatten each thawed roll and create a small indention in the center.
  6. Place a tablespoon of cream cheese mixture in the center of each roll, followed by a few blueberries, and carefully wrap and seal the roll.
  7. Arrange the filled rolls seam-side down in the skillet over the blueberry mixture.
  8. Bake for 30 to 34 minutes until golden brown.
  9. Allow to cool slightly before inverting onto a serving platter.

Notes

These Blueberry Bombs are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
