Ingredients You’ll Need

Getting these roll-ups just right is all about using simple, quality ingredients that come together in perfect harmony. Each component plays a special role—from the softness of the cream cheese to the crispiness of the low-carb tortillas, and the warm spices that make every bite unforgettable.

12 small low-carb tortillas: The perfect low-carb base that crisps beautifully when cooked.
10 oz cream cheese, softened: Adds a creamy, tangy richness that balances the cinnamon’s warmth.
1/2 cup Swerve confectioners sugar substitute: Sweetens the filling without carbs or sugar spikes.
1/2 cup Swerve granulated sugar substitute: Used for coating the outside, giving a sugary crunch.
4 tsp cinnamon (divided): The star spice that infuses both filling and coating with warm, cozy flavor.
6 tbsp butter, melted: Brushed generously for that golden crisp and buttery indulgence.
1 tsp vanilla extract: Adds depth and a hint of floral sweetness to the cream cheese filling.
Pinch of sea salt: Enhances all the flavors and keeps sweetness perfectly balanced.
Optional: crushed pecans or chopped walnuts: For an extra crunch and nutty dimension.

How to Make Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

Start by blending the softened cream cheese with the confectioners sugar substitute, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Whisk until smooth and creamy—this filling is what makes each bite irresistibly rich with a delicate touch of sweetness.

Step 2: Spread and Roll

Take each low-carb tortilla and spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly across it. Roll them up tightly to keep the filling contained during cooking, ensuring each roll-up has that perfect balance of crispy outside and creamy inside.

Step 3: Mix the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar substitute with the remaining 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. This mixture will give your roll-ups that quintessential sweet cinnamon coating that makes every bite a little celebration.

Step 4: Butter and Coat

Brush each tortilla roll-up generously with melted butter, then roll them in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated. This step is crucial for achieving that satisfying golden crunch and buttery aroma that fills the kitchen as they cook.

Step 5: Cook to Crispy Perfection

Place the coated roll-ups into an air fryer at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, or bake them on a parchment-lined tray in a 400°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Cook until they turn golden and crisp, creating a delightful contrast with the creamy filling inside.

Step 6: Optional Nutty Finish and Serving

Once warm, sprinkle some crushed pecans or walnuts on top for added texture and nutty flavor—it’s the perfect finishing touch to this already amazing treat.

How to Serve Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups

Garnishes

Enhance these roll-ups with a light dusting of additional cinnamon or a sprinkle of chopped nuts to add texture and a welcoming crunch. A tiny drizzle of sugar-free syrup can also elevate the flavor without adding carbs.

Side Dishes

Pairing these with fresh berries or a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream can create a balanced, satisfying keto-friendly dessert or snack. For brunch, serve alongside scrambled eggs or a fresh green salad to add variety and freshness to your plate.

Creative Ways to Present

Try slicing the roll-ups into bite-sized pinwheels for party platters or arrange them artistically on a serving board with a small bowl of sugar-free dipping sauce. The visual appeal makes these roll-ups not only delicious but fun and inviting to share.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

You can keep any leftovers chilled in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They stay delicious but to retain that crispness, reheat as directed before serving.

Freezing

These roll-ups freeze wonderfully. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container for up to one month. When you’re ready to indulge, just thaw and reheat.

Reheating

To bring back that crispy exterior and melty filling, warm the roll-ups in a toaster oven or air fryer at 350°F for 3 to 5 minutes. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the delightful crunch intact.

FAQs

Can I use regular tortillas instead of low-carb ones?

While regular tortillas will work, they contain more carbs, which might not fit into your keto goals. Low-carb tortillas keep these roll-ups delicious and keto-friendly without compromising texture.

Is there a dairy-free substitute for cream cheese?

You can experiment with dairy-free cream cheese alternatives, but keep in mind that the flavor and texture might differ slightly. Look for brands that are firm and spreadable for the best results.

Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time and freeze them?

Absolutely! Prepare and roll them as directed, then freeze before cooking. When ready, cook from frozen by adding a few extra minutes to the air fryer or oven time.

What sweetener can I use if I don’t have Swerve?

Other granulated and powdered sugar substitutes that measure like sugar, such as erythritol or monk fruit blends, will work well here. Just ensure you keep the sweetness balanced to avoid any aftertaste.

Are these roll-ups suitable for diabetics?

Since these use sugar substitutes and low-carb tortillas, they are generally friendly for people managing blood sugar, but it’s always best to consult with a healthcare provider for individual dietary advice.
