Indulgent Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups Recipe

Introduction

These Indulgent Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups are a delicious low-carb treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. Crispy on the outside and creamy inside, they satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt.

Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened before use for easy mixing)
• 1 cup Almond Flour (coconut flour can be used as a substitute, but reduce the amount since it’s more absorbent)
• 1/4 cup Coconut Flour (best used in combination with almond flour for optimal texture)
• 1 cup Erythritol (other keto sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit work well too)
• 1 large Egg (binds the mixture together)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract (using pure extract is recommended for the best taste)
• 1 tsp Baking Powder (make sure it’s evenly mixed to avoid lumps)
• 1/2 tsp Salt (elevates the overall flavor of the roll-ups)
• 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon (consider adding nutmeg for extra depth)
• Additional Sweetener (optional, a light dusting with powdered erythritol enhances visual appeal and taste)

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly until well blended to create a smooth dough texture.
2. Step 2: In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until you achieve a creamy consistency, ensuring that no lumps remain.
3. Step 3: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture. Continue mixing until a cohesive dough forms. If it feels too sticky, allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes.
4. Step 4: Place your dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Gently roll it out to about 1/4-inch thickness, shaping it into a rectangle for even filling distribution.
5. Step 5: In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon with additional sweetener if desired. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
6. Step 6: Using the parchment paper for support, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Once rolled, slice it into 1-inch pieces to form individual roll-ups.
7. Step 7: Preheat your skillet over medium heat. Cook the roll-ups cut-side down for 3-4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy.
8. Step 8: Allow the roll-ups to cool slightly before serving. Dust them with a mixture of cinnamon and erythritol before enjoying.

Tips & Variations

• For extra warmth, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves to the cinnamon mixture.
• If the dough is too sticky, chilling it for 10-15 minutes before rolling can help.
• Use monk fruit sweetener if you prefer a sweeter but still keto-friendly option.
• Serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or cream cheese frosting for added indulgence.

Storage

Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to regain crispiness. They are best enjoyed fresh but keep well chilled.

FAQs

Can I substitute almond flour with coconut flour completely?

Coconut flour absorbs more moisture than almond flour, so if substituting entirely, reduce the amount and add more egg or liquid to maintain dough consistency.

Are these roll-ups suitable for a strict keto diet?

Yes, these roll-ups use keto-friendly ingredients and sweeteners, making them a perfect low-carb, high-fat snack or breakfast option.

Notes

• You can substitute coconut flour for almond flour but reduce the amount since coconut flour absorbs more liquid.
• Use pure vanilla extract for best flavor.
• Letting the dough rest helps reduce stickiness and improves handling.
• Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing erythritol to taste.
• These roll-ups are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
