Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute
- 2 tsp Cinnamon (divided)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Other Ingredients
- 2 Soft Taco Sized Zero Carb Tortillas
- 2 tbsp Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 2 tbsp Butter
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: Blend together the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered Swerve confectioner’s sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a mixing bowl until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Spread filling on tortillas: Evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the surface of each zero carb tortilla, ensuring full coverage for rolling.
- Roll the tortillas: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly around the filling to form a log shape, securing the filling inside.
- Freeze the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up, making them easier to slice.
- Slice into spirals: After freezing, remove the rolled tortillas and slice them crosswise into bite-sized spiral pieces.
- Heat butter in skillet: Warm the butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and hot, ready for sautéing.
- Cook the bites: Place the cinnamon cream cheese spiral bites into the skillet and sauté in butter until the outside is browned and crispy, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Prepare cinnamon sugar topping: Mix together the granulated Swerve sugar substitute and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Coat the bites: Sprinkle or toss the warm cream cheese bites with the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat before serving.
Notes
- Use zero carb tortillas to maintain the keto-friendly profile of this recipe.
- Softened cream cheese blends easier for a smoother filling texture.
- Freezing the rolled tortillas ensures clean, even slices without squishing the filling.
- Adjust cinnamon quantity according to taste preference for more or less spice.
- Butter can be substituted with coconut oil for a dairy-free alternative.
- Serve immediately after cooking for best texture and flavor.
