These Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bites are a delightful low-carb treat perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. Soft zero-carb tortillas are filled with a creamy cinnamon-vanilla cream cheese mixture, rolled tight, chilled, sliced into spirals, and then sautéed to golden perfection in butter. Finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar substitute for a sweet, crispy exterior that satisfies cravings without the carbs.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Filling

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

Wraps

  • 2 Soft Taco Sized Zero Carb Tortillas

Topping and Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon (remaining 1 teaspoon)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, confectioner’s sugar substitute, and 1 teaspoon 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 the surface of each zero carb tortilla, creating an even layer.
  3. Roll the Tortillas: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla around the cream cheese filling to form a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  4. Freeze the Rolls: Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up and make slicing easier.
  5. Slice into Spirals: Remove the tortilla rolls from the freezer and slice them into uniform spiral pieces about 1/2 inch thick.
  6. Heat Butter in Skillet: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to bubble gently.
  7. Sauté the Cinnamon Cream Cheese Bites: Add the spiral slices to the skillet and cook them until they are browned and crispy on the outside, turning as needed for even cooking.
  8. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix the granulated Swerve sugar substitute with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl.
  9. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the warm cinnamon cream cheese bites before serving for a sweet, crunchy coating.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
  • Freezing the rolled tortillas solidifies them for clean slicing without squishing.
  • Use zero-carb tortillas to keep this recipe keto-friendly and low in carbohydrates.
  • Adjust the cinnamon amount according to personal taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately after sautéing for the best crisp texture.
