Ingredients
Primary Ingredients
- 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
For Egg Wash
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Cream Cheese Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined.
- Melt Mozzarella: In a separate bowl, microwave the shredded mozzarella cheese for about 30 seconds until it becomes gooey and easy to mix.
- Combine Cheese Mixtures: Add the melted mozzarella to the cream cheese mixture and stir until fully integrated into a batter-like consistency.
- Shape Roll Ups: Scoop portions of the mixture and flatten them into thin, flat rectangles directly onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the shapes are uniform for even baking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the beaten egg over each rectangle to give them a shiny, appealing finish after baking.
- Bake: Bake the roll ups in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to set and enhance crispiness.
Notes
- You can substitute erythritol with any other preferred keto-friendly sweetener.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and create a smoother batter.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and facilitate cleanup.
- For crispier roll ups, bake until edges are deeply golden.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly for best texture.
