Introduction

Indulge in the warm, gooey satisfaction of a cinnamon roll without the carbs. These keto cinnamon cream cheese roll-ups deliver classic buttery, cinnamon-sugar flavor wrapped around a tangy cream cheese filling. Perfect for a quick, no-bake dessert, they’re a delicious low-carb treat that you can enjoy anytime.

A stack of five crispy, rolled crepes filled with a thick, white creamy filling is placed on a white plate. Each crepe has a golden-brown color with a slightly rough texture showing a delicate crispness. The cream filling peeks out from both ends of each roll, soft and smooth, with a dusting of fine brown powder, likely cinnamon or cocoa, scattered over the crepes and plate. The crepes are arranged with three rolls on the bottom and two on top, creating a layered, cozy look on a white marbled surface. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 low-carb tortillas (7-8 inches each)

4 oz cream cheese, softened

3 tbsp powdered erythritol

½ tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp butter, melted

3 tbsp granular erythritol

1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon

1 oz cream cheese, softened (for icing)

1 tbsp powdered erythritol (for icing)

1-2 tsp unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream (for icing)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the filling by combining 4 oz softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp powdered erythritol, and ½ tsp vanilla extract in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly until smooth and lump-free.

Step 2: Warm the low-carb tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them soft and pliable for rolling.

Step 3: Lay one tortilla flat and spread ¼ of the cream cheese filling evenly in a thin layer, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Step 4: Roll each tortilla tightly into a compact log and place seam-side down on a plate. Set aside.

Step 5: In a shallow dish, whisk together 3 tbsp granular erythritol and 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon for the coating.

Step 6: Melt 2 tbsp butter in a small bowl. Brush the outside of each roll-up with melted butter, then immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sweetener mixture until fully coated.

Step 7: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place roll-ups seam-side down and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, turning carefully, until golden brown and slightly crisp all around.

Step 8: While the roll-ups cook, make the icing by whisking together 1 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tbsp powdered erythritol, and 1-2 tsp almond milk until smooth and pourable.

Step 9: Remove the roll-ups from the skillet and drizzle immediately with the cream cheese icing. Serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped pecans or walnuts to the cream cheese filling for added crunch.

Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg or cardamom into the filling to deepen the spice flavor.

Mix a few drops of maple extract into the icing for a richer, breakfast-style taste.

For a fresh twist, add ½ teaspoon lemon zest to the icing to brighten the flavor.

Serve alongside low-carb vanilla ice cream for a more indulgent dessert.

Storage

Store cooked roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a dry non-stick skillet over low heat or in an air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 2-3 minutes to crisp them up again. For longer storage, freeze cooked roll-ups without icing by flash freezing on a baking sheet, then transferring to a freezer-safe bag—keep frozen up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in an air fryer or oven, then add fresh icing after warming.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of low-carb wrap?

Yes, most low-carb or keto-friendly wraps and tortillas will work. Just check the nutrition label for carb content and choose a brand that is soft and flexible to avoid cracking during rolling.

My roll-ups got soggy in the fridge. How can I fix them?

Reheat them in a dry, non-stick skillet over medium-low heat or in an air fryer for 2-4 minutes. This helps evaporate moisture and brings back a crispy exterior.
