Ingredients

Filling

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioner's Sugar Substitute
  • 2 tsp Cinnamon, divided
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Wrap and Coating

  • 2 Soft Taco Sized Zero Carb Tortillas
  • 2 tbsp Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute
  • 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese filling: In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, powdered Swerve, and 1 tsp of cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Spread the filling on tortillas: Evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over each of the two tortillas, covering the surface completely.
  3. Roll the tortillas: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla around the cream cheese filling to create a filled log.
  4. Freeze the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up, which will help when slicing.
  5. Slice into spirals: Remove the rolls from the freezer and slice them into bite-sized spirals, approximately 1-inch thick pieces.
  6. Heat butter in skillet: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted and hot.
  7. Cook the bites: Sauté the cinnamon cream cheese bites in the hot butter, turning occasionally, until they are browned and crispy on all sides.
  8. Make cinnamon sugar coating: Mix together the granulated Swerve and the remaining 1 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl.
  9. Coat and serve: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the warm bites just before serving for added sweetness and crunch.

Notes

  • Use zero-carb or low-carb tortillas to keep this recipe keto-friendly.
  • Freezing is key to get clean slices without the filling squishing out.
  • If you prefer, you can bake instead of sautéing, but sautéing gives a crispier exterior.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat briefly in a skillet for best texture.
  • Substitute Swerve with other keto-friendly sweeteners if preferred, adjusting quantity for sweetness.
