Hey there! If you’re anything like me and have a soft spot for desserts, you’re going to love what I’m sharing today. You might have heard about the keto trend, but let me tell you—these Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups are a game-changer! They are easy to make, totally satisfying, and they’re a sweet treat you can feel good about enjoying. Plus, they’re low in carbs, so they’re a perfect way to satisfy that sweet tooth without any guilt!

Nutritional Benefits of This Dessert

Before we dive into the recipe, let’s chat about the nutritional perks of this delightful dish. First off, the star ingredient here is cream cheese, which is loaded with healthy fats and is a great source of vitamin A—which is wonderful for your eyes and skin! With almond flour as a base, this dessert is also gluten-free and high in protein. Additionally, using erythritol as your sweetener means you can enjoy that lovely sweetness without spiking your blood sugar level. This makes them friendly for those watching their carb intake or anyone on the keto diet!

Fun Variations You Can Try

• Add a Dash of Flavor: Try adding a sprinkle of nutmeg or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the cream cheese filling for a playful twist.
• Nutty Delight: Incorporate chopped nuts, like walnuts or pecans, into the cream cheese filling for some added crunch and flavor.
• Fruit Fusion: For a touch of freshness, add a few mashed raspberries or strawberries to the filling before rolling up the crepes!

Let’s Make Some Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups!

Ingredients

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp granulated erythritol (or other low-carb sweetener)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp butter (for frying)
• Additional erythritol and cinnamon for coating

Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
2. In another bowl, whisk the egg until frothy. Add almond flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Mix until you get a smooth batter.
3. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
4. Pour half of the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a thin crepe-like layer. Cook for about 2 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
5. Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side until golden.
6. Remove the crepe from the skillet and place it on a plate. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the surface of the crepe.
7. Starting from one end, carefully roll the crepe up tightly around the cream cheese mixture to form a roll.
8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 with the remaining batter to make additional rolls.
9. Once all rolls are prepared, return the skillet to the heat and add more butter if needed. Fry the rolled-up crepes in the skillet for about 1-2 minutes on each side until crispy and golden brown.
10. In a small bowl, mix additional erythritol with cinnamon for coating. Roll each crispy roll in the cinnamon erythritol mixture until well coated.
11. Serve the crispy keto cinnamon cream cheese roll-ups immediately, and enjoy their warm, sweet, and creamy filling!

Helpful Tips for Success

• Perfect temperature: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling. A quick microwave zap can help warm it up.
• Crepe consistency: If the batter seems too thick, you can add a touch of almond milk for a better spread.
• Keep them crispy: Serve these roll-ups right after cooking for that delicious crunch!
