German Chocolate Cheesecake Rolls

I think we’ve finally turned the corner on spring here in Texas. I posted this photo on Instagram last week and since then even more green has returned! This warmer weather has me thinking about spring recipes and looking forward to Easter just around the corner.
These Blueberry Lemon Cheesecake Rolls are a springtime favorite… much like these Pumpkin Cheesecake Rolls are in the fall (seriously, a MUST make)… and it got me thinking that maybe I could turn one of my favorite cakes into one of these delicious little cheesecake bites. With some chopped pecans, sweetened coconut flakes, and German chocolate this dessert is totally transformed into something else. I love using Pillsbury Crescent Rolls in these recipes because they are not only delicious, but also so easy to use.
Check out this video to see how I made them:

Ingredients
- 2 tubes of Original Pillsbury Crescent Rolls (available at Walmart)
- 8 oz cream cheese , softened
- 1/2 cup sugar

- Remove from the muffin tin and place on a wire rack to cool.

Wow! That’s great! I look them delicious. Thanks you very much. I hope to learn from you more.
I like to eat chocolate. When I try a new dish, I choose the chocolate taste. I hope I can add this dish to my favourite dishes. Thanks for sharing and I’m looking forward to reading new post.
