Ingredients

6 low-carb tortillas (6 to 8 inch, about 3 to 5 g net carbs each)
6 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp butter
1 tbsp granulated keto sweetener
1/2 tsp cinnamon (for coating)

Instructions

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
Lay out the tortillas and spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each one.
Roll each tortilla tightly into a log and set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Place the roll ups seam-side down, in batches if needed. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning gently with tongs, for a total of 4 to 6 minutes, until all sides are crisp and golden brown.
In a small bowl, mix the remaining cinnamon and granulated sweetener.
Remove the roll ups from the skillet and roll them in the cinnamon mixture while hot, so the coating sticks. Serve warm.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, cook over medium-low heat so the tortillas crisp before the butter browns too much. Wipe the pan between batches if the butter darkens.
Spread the filling to the edges but leave a thin border so it does not leak out while frying.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for a warm spice note.
Slice into bite-sized pieces for a party-friendly dessert.

Substitutions

Swap cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer filling.
Use coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free option.
Try flavored keto tortillas for a twist.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these keto cinnamon cream cheese roll ups warm on their own, or pair them with fresh berries for contrast. They also work well alongside other low-carb treats like zero carb yogurt bread or as a sweet finish after dinner.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer at 350°F until warm and crispy. Avoid the microwave, which softens the tortillas.
