5. Step 5: Scoop out portions of the mixture and form them into thin, flat rectangles on the prepared baking sheet.

Tips & Variations

• For extra sweetness, sprinkle a little additional erythritol mixed with cinnamon over the roll ups before baking.
• Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves for a warming spice variation.
• Use a silicone baking mat instead of parchment paper for easy cleanup.
• Replace mozzarella with another low-moisture cheese if preferred, but keep it shredded for easy melting.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep their texture crispy.

FAQs

Can I make these roll ups dairy-free?

This recipe relies on cream cheese and mozzarella for texture and flavor, which are dairy-based. You can try using dairy-free cream cheese and shredded vegan cheese, but results may vary.

What sweetener can I use instead of erythritol?

You can substitute erythritol with other keto-friendly sweeteners like stevia, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose. Adjust the amount according to sweetness level and personal preference.
