Ingredients
Scale
Dough Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 cup Almond Flour
- 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
- 1 cup Erythritol
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
Filling and Topping
- 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
- Additional Sweetener (optional, for dusting, such as powdered erythritol)
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly mix almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, and salt until well blended to form a smooth dough base.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the softened cream cheese, egg, and vanilla extract until creamy and lump-free for a smooth mixture.
- Form Dough: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the cream cheese mixture, mixing continuously until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, let it rest for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
- Roll Out Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and gently roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness, shaping it into a rectangle to ensure even filling coverage.
- Prepare Cinnamon Filling: Combine ground cinnamon with additional sweetener if desired in a small bowl. Spread this cinnamon mixture evenly over the rolled dough surface.
- Roll the Dough: Using the parchment paper to help, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
- Slice Roll-Ups: Slice the rolled log into 1-inch thick pieces to form individual cinnamon cream cheese roll-ups.
- Cook on Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each roll-up cut-side down for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Cool and Serve: Let the roll-ups cool slightly, then dust with a mixture of cinnamon and erythritol for extra flavor and a beautiful finish before serving.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, you can toast the almond flour lightly before mixing.
- Coconut flour absorbs more moisture, so adjust the quantity carefully if substituting almond flour entirely.
- Letting the dough rest helps reduce stickiness and improves handling.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves for additional spice depth in the cinnamon mixture.
- Use pure vanilla extract for the best aroma and flavor.
- Cook roll-ups on medium heat to ensure they crisp up without burning.
- Dusting with powdered erythritol not only enhances sweetness but also adds visual appeal.
