Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 10 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Swerve Confectioners Sugar Substitute
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Sea Salt
Coating
- 6 tbsp Butter, melted
- 1/2 cup Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
Other
- Low-Carb Tortillas (warmed to prevent cracking)
- Optional: Crushed pecans or chopped walnuts for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, confectioners sugar substitute, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread onto tortillas: Take each warmed low-carb tortilla and spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the surface. Roll each tortilla tightly to form a roll-up.
- Make the cinnamon sugar coating: In a small bowl, mix the remaining 2 teaspoons of cinnamon with the granulated sugar substitute until well combined.
- Brush with butter and coat: Brush each roll-up generously with the melted butter, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, ensuring an even coating for a flavorful crust.
- Cook the roll-ups: For air fryer method, place the roll-ups in the basket and air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 6 to 8 minutes until golden and crisp. Alternatively, for baking, place roll-ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
- Serve warm: Enjoy the roll-ups warm, optionally topped with crushed pecans or chopped walnuts, or served alongside a sugar-free caramel sauce for added indulgence.
Notes
- Warming the low-carb tortillas before rolling helps prevent cracking.
- You can substitute Swerve with powdered monk fruit or allulose for the confectioners sugar and ensure granulated sweetener is used for coating.
- Optional nuts add a delightful crunch but can be omitted to keep it nut-free.
- Both air frying and baking yield delicious results; choose based on your appliance availability.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat gently for best texture.
