Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups: The Perfect Low-Carb Treat Recipe - Recipe Image

Ingredients

4 low-carb tortillas (7-8 inches each)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp powdered erythritol
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp granular erythritol
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 oz cream cheese, softened (for icing)
1 tbsp powdered erythritol (for icing)
1-2 tsp unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream (for icing)

Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp powdered erythritol, and ½ tsp vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and free of lumps.
Step 2: Warm the low-carb tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them soft and pliable.
Step 3: Lay a tortilla flat and spread ¼ of the cream cheese filling in a thin, even layer, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Roll it up tightly and place seam-side down. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Step 4: In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 tbsp granular erythritol and 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon coating.
Step 5: Melt the butter and brush it over the outside of each rolled tortilla. Roll each one immediately in the cinnamon-sweetener mixture, coating evenly.
Step 6: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place the roll-ups seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Step 7: While the roll-ups cook, prepare the icing by whisking 1 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tbsp powdered erythritol, and 1-2 tsp almond milk together until smooth and drizzly.
Step 8: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet, drizzle with the cream cheese icing, and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped pecans or walnuts to the cream cheese filling for extra crunch.
Mix a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom into the filling for added warmth and complexity.
Enhance the icing with a few drops of maple extract or ½ teaspoon lemon zest for different flavor profiles.
Serve with low-carb vanilla ice cream for a richer dessert experience.

Storage

Store assembled and cooked roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a dry skillet over low heat or in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to crisp the exterior. For longer storage, freeze the cooked roll-ups (without icing) by flash freezing on a baking sheet for 1 hour, then transferring to a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen and add fresh icing before serving.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of low-carb wrap?

Yes, most low-carb or keto-friendly wraps and tortillas will work. Choose a soft and flexible brand to avoid cracking and check carb content on the nutrition label.

My roll-ups got soggy in the fridge. How can I fix them?

Reheat roll-ups in a dry non-stick skillet over medium-low heat or in an air fryer for 2-4 minutes. This helps evaporate moisture and re-crisp the exterior.

Ingredients

Scale

Roll-Ups

4 low-carb tortillas (7–8 inches each)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
3 tbsp powdered erythritol (divided)
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp butter, melted
3 tbsp granular erythritol
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Icing

1 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp powdered erythritol
1–2 tsp unsweetened almond milk (or heavy cream)

Instructions

Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp powdered erythritol, and ½ tsp vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
Warm Tortillas: Microwave the low-carb tortillas for 10-15 seconds to make them soft and pliable, preventing cracking during rolling.
Assemble Roll-Ups: Lay one tortilla flat and spread ¼ of the cream cheese filling evenly in a thin layer, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Roll it tightly into a compact log and set seam-side down. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
Create Cinnamon Coating: In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 tbsp granular erythritol and 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon to make the coating mixture.
Butter & Coat: Melt 2 tbsp butter. Brush the outside of each rolled tortilla with melted butter, then roll immediately in the cinnamon-erythritol mixture until evenly coated.
Pan-Sear Roll-Ups: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place roll-ups seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, turning carefully, until all sides are golden brown and slightly crisp.
Prepare Icing: While roll-ups are searing, mix 1 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tbsp powdered erythritol, and 1-2 tsp unsweetened almond milk in a bowl. Whisk until smooth and drizzly.
Serve: Remove roll-ups from the skillet, drizzle with cream cheese icing, and serve warm for best flavor and texture.

Notes

Use powdered erythritol in the cream cheese filling and icing to avoid gritty texture; granular sweeteners won’t dissolve properly.
Spread filling in a thin, even layer to prevent squeezing and sogginess during cooking.
Warm tortillas before rolling to keep them soft and prevent cracking or tearing.
Roll-ups can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days; reheat in a dry skillet or air fryer to crisp up again.
Roll-ups freeze well; flash freeze individually before packaging in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.
For baking instead of pan-searing, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes until golden and heated through.
Customize by adding chopped nuts or spices like nutmeg or cardamom to the filling, or add lemon zest or maple extract to the icing.
