- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg, separated
- 1¼ cup powdered sugar, divided
- 1 (11-ounce) can Pillsbury® refrigerated breadstick dough
- ¾ cup fresh, frozen, or canned blueberries
- 2 teaspoons water
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Beat cream cheese in a mixing bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until creamy. Add egg yolk and ¼ cup powdered sugar. Beat until well mixed.
- Remove breadstick dough from can. Unroll and separate dough into two rectangles. Place dough rectangles horizontally on a lightly greased baking sheet that is positioned vertically to baker. (Dough rectangles should abut horizontally in center of baking sheet.) Press seam together to seal.
- Spoon cream-cheese mixture onto center third of dough.
- Wash, drain, and dry blueberries. Sprinkle blueberries over cream-cheese mixture.
- Separate dough at perforations up to cream-cheese mixture, slightly stretching dough strips. Beginning at top edge of dough, braid strips to cover filling. Tuck last two ends under at bottom of loaf.
- In a small bowl, combine egg white and water with a fork until blended to form an egg wash. Brush egg wash over braided loaf.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool for at least 45 minutes on baking sheet before serving.
- In another small bowl, combine remaining 1 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons orange juice, whisking until smooth. Drizzle glaze over braided loaf prior to serving.
