Cinnamon-flavored treats always remind me of holiday mornings and cozy winter evenings. These keto cinnamon cream cheese roll ups were created for those moments when you want something warm, sweet, and comforting without breaking your low-carb goals. They’ve quickly become a favorite in my Christmas dessert list and an easy addition to Thanksgiving recipes when oven space is limited.
๐งพ Ingredients
- 5 low-carb tortillas
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered erythritol
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp granulated erythritol
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
๐จ๐ณ Instructions — Step-by-Step
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using an air fryer, preheat it to 370°F for best results. ```
- Make the cream cheese filling: In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix until completely smooth and creamy. This filling should be spreadable and lightly sweetened.
- Prepare the cinnamon coating: In another bowl, mix granulated erythritol with ground cinnamon. Set aside. This mixture will create the classic cinnamon-sugar flavor without added carbs.
- Fill the tortillas: Lay each low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese filling across the entire tortilla, leaving a small border at the edges.
- Roll tightly: Starting from one side, roll each tortilla tightly into a log. A tight roll helps the filling stay inside and creates a crisp texture once baked.
- Butter and coat: Brush each roll up generously with melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon-erythritol mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
- Bake until crisp: Place the roll ups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 8–10 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Cool slightly: Remove from the oven and allow the roll ups to cool for about 3–5 minutes. The filling will set slightly while remaining creamy inside.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve warm for the best flavor and texture. These roll ups pair perfectly with keto coffee or as a quick holiday dessert. ```
- Use the softest low-carb tortillas available to prevent cracking.
- Do not overfill, or the cream cheese may leak during baking.
- Air fryer option: Cook 5–6 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg or pumpkin spice for Thanksgiving variation.
- Serve immediately for maximum crispiness.
