blueberry lemon rolls...

Blueberry Lemon Rolls!
These are pretty amazing I must say. I got this recipe from a friend that had them at a general conference college breakfast! YUM!

Ingredients:
- 8 frozen rolls, thawed ( I use Rhodes rolls)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- zest and juice of one lemon
- 1/4 cup blueberries ( I used frozen and it turned out great)
- 1 cup powdered sugar

Directions:
1. For the filling: whip cream cheese, sugar, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest together until fluffy (2-3 minutes)
2. Thaw out the rolls as directed on back on bag. When rolls are completely thawed roll into one large ball. Roll out on lightly floured surface into a large rectangle. Brush dough with melted butter.Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over the buttered dough. Lightly press your blueberries into the dough.
3. Roll dough to form a 12inch log of dough.
4.Using a serrated knife ( I use some thread) cut 8 even rolls. Place into your greased pie pan.
5. Bake at 325 for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
6. To make the icing, stir together the powdered sugar and juice from the lemon (my lemon didn't give enough juice so I added milk to create the consistancy I wanted)
7. ENJOY!
