Ingredients
Scale
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Combine cheeses: Add the melted mozzarella to the cream cheese mixture and stir until the mixture is fully integrated and homogeneous.
- 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.
- Apply egg wash: Brush the beaten egg over the surface of the rectangles to give them a shiny, golden finish once baked.
- 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.
- 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.
