Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon and sweetener on top before baking.
  • If you prefer a sweeter treat, increase the erythritol slightly or drizzle with sugar-free syrup after baking.
  • You can substitute mozzarella with another melty cheese like provolone for a different texture.

Storage

Store these roll ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm them in a toaster oven or regular oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness.

FAQs

Can I use regular sugar instead of erythritol?

Yes, you can substitute regular sugar, but it will increase the carb content, making this less keto-friendly.

Can I make these roll ups dairy-free?

Replacing cream cheese and mozzarella with dairy-free alternatives may affect texture, but you can try vegan cream cheese and shredded vegan cheese for a dairy-free version.
