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: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure 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 is smooth and well blended.
- Melt Mozzarella Cheese: In a separate bowl, microwave the shredded mozzarella for about 30 seconds until it becomes gooey and melt-y, preparing it to easily incorporate.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the melted mozzarella to the cream cheese mixture and stir thoroughly until fully integrated into a smooth dough-like consistency.
- Form Roll Ups: Scoop portions of the mixture and shape them into thin, flat rectangles directly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg over each rectangle to create a glossy, golden finish when baked.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the roll ups are golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the roll ups to cool slightly before serving to let them firm up and enhance their crispiness.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth batter.
- You can substitute erythritol with any keto-friendly sweetener of your choice.
- For a dairy-free version, look for suitable cream cheese and mozzarella substitutes, though texture may vary.
- Keep the roll ups thin for crispiness; thicker portions might remain soft inside.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture retention.
