This Blueberry Cheesecake Streusel is so delicious – it’s warm and comforting
with delicious bursts of blueberry in every bite! The best part is I made it
in just 20 minutes from fridge to table! A great easy breakfast or dessert any
time of year.
This post is sponsored and inspired by the new movie Irresistible,
featuring Steve Carrell that comes out this week! It’s a great political
comedy and early on Steve comes across an amazing streusel that he couldn’t
resist. It made me hungry so I had to make one for myself!
How do you make Blueberry Cheesecake Streusel?
You all know – I’m all about simple! So I started this out by using the crescent roll sheet dough – lay that out on parchment paper. Then top with an easy cream cheese mixture, add blueberries and a streusel topping! This came together in just five minutes and then baked for 15 minutes – so easy!
Before popping it in the oven, I added a little brown sugar and cinnamon just for more sweetness and you could definitely taste it! This is a perfect little breakfast or dessert idea.
What can you make with frozen blueberries?
This is a great recipe for frozen blueberries! I got some last summer and they were still in my freezer so I wanted to use them up. They still juicy and sweet – so good!
If you have extra blueberries – some of my other favorite recipes are this delicious Berry Cobbler, Blueberry Compote or Blueberry Cornbread.
Once this Blueberry Cheesecake Streusel comes out of the oven – your whole family will dig in! It’s so light and delicious! I mixed up quick glaze for the top as well – even added a little blueberry juice to it. So good!
Also – be sure to check out Irresistible this week with Steve Carrell and Rose Byrne. It’s a funny take on politics today with a great ending twist! They definitely got me with it! It’s written and directed by Jon Stewart – and it has that biting humor that he brings to everything. Irresistible is available on demand starting June 26.
