Tips & Variations

• For an extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped nuts over the roll ups before baking.
• Try swapping erythritol for another keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit or stevia according to your taste.
• You can add a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom to the cinnamon for a more complex spice profile.

Storage

Store the roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To enjoy them warm and crisp again, reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes. Avoid microwaving, as it may soften the crisp texture.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups dairy-free?

This recipe relies on cream cheese and mozzarella for texture and flavor, so substituting dairy-free alternatives may affect the final consistency. However, using vegan cream cheese and a dairy-free mozzarella-style cheese could work if tested carefully.

How do I prevent the roll ups from sticking to the baking sheet?

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper as instructed, or use a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking. You can also lightly grease the surface if needed.

Roll Ups

• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon erythritol or preferred sweetener
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow easy cleanup.
2. Mix cream cheese base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and well incorporated.
3. Melt mozzarella cheese: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it turns gooey and easy to mix.
4. Combine cheeses: Add the melted mozzarella to the cream cheese mixture and stir until the mixture is fully integrated and homogeneous.
5. Shape roll ups: Scoop out portions of the combined mixture and shape them into thin, flat rectangles placed on the prepared baking sheet. Keep the shapes even for consistent baking.
6. Apply egg wash: Brush the beaten egg over the surface of the rectangles to give them a shiny, golden finish once baked.
7. Bake to crispiness: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the roll ups for 12-15 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy on the edges.
8. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the roll ups to cool slightly before serving so they firm up and are easier to handle.

Notes

• For a sweeter result, adjust the amount of erythritol or substitute with your preferred keto-friendly sweetener.
• Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing and better texture.
• Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking during baking.
• These roll ups are best served warm but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To re-crisp leftovers, warm them briefly in an oven or toaster oven.
