Ingredients
Scale
Roll Up Mixture
- 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
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 Base Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, almond flour, erythritol, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well incorporated to form the base mixture.
- Melt Mozzarella: In a separate bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella cheese in the microwave for about 30 seconds until it becomes gooey and soft, facilitating easy mixing.
- Combine Cheese Mixtures: Add the melted mozzarella cheese to the cream cheese mixture and stir thoroughly until fully integrated and uniform in texture.
- Shape Roll Ups: Scoop portions of the combined mixture and form them into thin, flat rectangles directly on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring even thickness for uniform baking.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the rectangles with the beaten egg to give them a glossy, golden finish once baked.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the roll ups are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the roll ups from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to allow them to set and achieve ideal texture.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount or type of sweetener according to taste preferences.
- For extra crispiness, flatten the rectangles as much as possible without breaking them.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat briefly before serving.
