Sweet Cinnamon Swirls: Your New Favorite Crispy Keto Cream Cheese Roll Ups

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese and 2 oz cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth (about 1.5-2 minutes total).
2. 2

   Quickly stir in 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons almond flour until fully combined and a cohesive dough forms.
3. 3

   Place the warm dough between two large sheets of parchment paper. Roll out evenly into a thin rectangle, approximately 12x10 inches.
4. 4

   In a small bowl, combine 6 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons erythritol, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until completely smooth and creamy.
5. 5

   Carefully peel off the top layer of parchment paper from the dough. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the entire surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border on one of the longer sides.
6. 6

   Starting from the long side opposite the border, gently but firmly roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the seam closed.
7. 7

   Slice the log into 1-inch thick rounds (about 10-12 roll-ups). Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with fresh parchment paper.
8. 8

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). For the optional topping, melt 1 tablespoon butter. In a separate small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 tablespoon erythritol. Brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-erythritol mixture.
9. 9

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly firm. Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool further. Serve warm or at room temperature.
