Ingredients
Filling
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon (divided)
Assembly
- 2 soft taco-sized zero carb tortillas
Cooking
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp Swerve granulated sugar substitute
- 1 tsp cinnamon (remaining for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, confectioner’s Swerve, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Spread the filling: Evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the surface of each zero-carb tortilla, covering them completely.
- Roll the tortillas: Carefully and tightly roll up each tortilla around the cream cheese filling to create a spiral roll.
- Freeze the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas into the freezer for 1 hour to firm up, which will make them easier to slice and cook.
- Slice into spirals: Remove the tortillas from the freezer and slice them into bite-sized spirals approximately 1-inch thick.
- Heat the butter: In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter until hot and sizzling.
- Cook the bites: Add the cinnamon cream cheese spirals to the skillet and sauté them in the butter until they are browned and crispy on the outside, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Prepare the cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, stir together the granulated Swerve sugar substitute with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Serve: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the warm cream cheese bites before serving for an extra touch of sweetness and cinnamon flavor.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
- Freezing the rolled tortillas helps in getting clean slices without squishing the filling.
- Use zero-carb or very low-carb tortillas to keep this recipe keto-friendly.
- You can adjust the cinnamon and sweetener amounts to suit your taste preferences.
- These bites are best enjoyed warm and fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently in a skillet.
