Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what makes this keto-friendly dessert both delicious and diet-compliant:
For the Roll Ups:
- 4 low-carb tortillas (or keto-friendly bread slices)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
For the Coating:
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp powdered erythritol
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Cream Cheese Filling
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon. Stir until smooth and fluffy.
Step 2: Prepare the Roll Ups
Lay your low-carb tortillas or flattened keto bread slices on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture across each one. Roll them up tightly into a log shape.
Step 3: Coat in Butter and Cinnamon
In a shallow dish, mix the cinnamon and sweetener. Brush each roll up with melted butter, then roll in the cinnamon “sugar” coating to fully cover.
Step 4: Cook Until Crispy
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for about 5–8 minutes, or bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes until golden brown and crispy. You can also pan-fry them in a bit of butter for extra crunch.
Step 5: Serve Warm and Enjoy
Let them cool slightly, then serve warm for the perfect combination of crispy outside and creamy, sweet inside. They pair beautifully with a hot cup of keto coffee or herbal tea.
Optional Additions and Variations
- Add nuts: Sprinkle chopped pecans or walnuts inside for crunch.
- Make them fruity: Add a few keto-friendly berries like raspberries before rolling.
- Chocolate drizzle: Top with melted sugar-free chocolate for a decadent finish.
- French toast twist: Dip the rolls in whisked egg and pan-fry for a keto cinnamon roll French toast style.
Storage Tips
These roll ups are best served fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for 3–4 minutes to regain crispiness.
