Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 8 oz full-fat cream cheese softened
  • 3 tbsp powdered erythritol or other powdered keto sweetener
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon divided
  • 6 small low-carb tortillas 6-inch, about 4 g net carbs each
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 2 tbsp granular erythritol or other granular keto sweetener

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla bean paste, and 1 tsp of the ground cinnamon.
  2. Beat the mixture with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth, creamy, and easily spreadable.
  3. Lay the low-carb tortillas flat on a clean work surface.
  4. Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly among the tortillas.
  5. Spread the filling in a thin, even layer over each tortilla, leaving about 1/4 inch border around the edges.
  6. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tsp ground cinnamon and the granular sweetener.
  7. Lightly sprinkle a small pinch of the cinnamon–granular sweetener mixture over the cream cheese on each tortilla.
  8. Starting from one edge, roll each tortilla up tightly into a log, keeping the filling tucked inside.
  9. If your tortillas are large, tuck in the ends slightly as you roll to help keep the filling from escaping.
  10. Brush the outside of each roll up all over with the melted butter.
  11. Roll or sprinkle each buttered roll up in the remaining cinnamon–granular sweetener mixture to coat the outside lightly.
  12. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  13. Place the roll ups seam-side down in the hot skillet, leaving space between each one.
  14. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning with tongs, until all sides are golden brown and crisp.
  15. Continue turning and toasting the roll ups until they are evenly browned on all sides and the filling feels warm.
  16. Remove the roll ups from the skillet and transfer them to a plate to cool slightly.
  17. Let the roll ups sit for 3 to 5 minutes before serving so the filling can set and avoid burns.
  18. Slice each roll up in half on the diagonal if desired and serve warm.

Notes

- Use low-carb tortillas that are soft and flexible so they roll easily without cracking.
- For an air fryer version, cook the buttered and coated roll ups at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, turning halfway through, until crisp and golden.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet or air fryer to re-crisp.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a drop of maple extract to the cream cheese mixture.
