  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
For the Filling
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 tbsp erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener to taste
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping (Optional)
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 1 tbsp erythritol
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Equipment

  • microwave-safe bowl
  • parchment paper
  • baking sheet
  • sharp knife
  • wire rack

Method
 

Dough Preparation
  1. Combine mozzarella and 2 tbsp cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl; microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.
Forming the Dough
  1. Add almond flour, egg, vanilla extract, and ½ tsp cinnamon to the melted cheese, then mix vigorously until a cohesive dough forms.
Rolling the Dough
  1. Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a thin, even 10x12 inch rectangle.
Making the Filling
  1. Beat softened cream cheese, 2 tbsp erythritol, ½ tsp cinnamon, and 1 tsp vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Assembling
  1. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border on one long edge.
Rolling and Slicing
  1. Roll the dough into a tight log from the longer edge opposite the border, then slice into 1-inch-thick rounds using a sharp knife.
Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and arrange roll-ups on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart.
Optional Topping
  1. Brush roll-ups with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon-erythritol topping, if desired.
Bake until Crispy
  1. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy, watching closely to prevent over-browning.
Cool and Serve
  1. Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack; best enjoyed warm.

Notes

Keep an eye on the roll-ups while baking as they can brown quickly. For best results, ensure your cream cheese for the filling is very soft before beating.
