- Roll each triangle up, starting at the wide end, placing the rolls on two prepared baking sheets as you go.

Expert Tips

I made them today for the first time. They are really good. I will definitely make them again!
I’m so glad you liked them Neysa! Thank you for sharing! :)
This looks really yummy! Have you ever used puff pastry instead of pie dough? I’m thinking it might add a wonderful flakiness. Thoughts?
Good morning Karen,
Hi Karen, Great question. Yes, I have. I actually have a few posts that you might like where I have used puff pastry. Just type in “puff pastries” in the search bar on my blog and they should pop right up. That you for your comment.
Wow Blueberry Cream Bites look delicious. Could you come up with low-carb pie crust using coconut flour?
Could you use pillsbury crescent rolls in place if the pie crust ?
These look delightful
Hi Julie, yes you sure could. I actually have recipes using crescents on the blog. Check them out, they are delicious! :)
Can & how could u do this with strawberries or peaches
Hi Tim, yes both of those would work. For the strawberries, I’d probably do the same as the blueberries and for the peaches, I’d cut them in small chunks. I will make both of them fairly soon.
Great recipe. I just used the crescent rolls though, rather than cutting the pie dough into crescents. It was easier and saved time
Thanks for sharing Kelli, I’m so glad you liked them! :)
