Filling
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
- 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Tortillas
- 2 Soft Taco Sized Zero Carb Tortillas
Cooking & Topping
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: 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.
- Spread the filling: Evenly spread half of the cream cheese mixture over each zero-carb tortilla, covering the surface completely.
- Roll the tortillas: Carefully and tightly roll each tortilla around the cream cheese filling, ensuring it is sealed well.
- Freeze the rolls: Place the rolled tortillas in the freezer for 1 hour to firm up and make slicing easier.
- Slice into spirals: After freezing, remove the rolls and slice them into bite-sized spiral pieces.
- Heat butter: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat to prepare for sautéing.
- Cook the bites: Sauté the cinnamon cream cheese bites in the butter until they are browned and crispy on the outside, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Add cinnamon sugar topping: In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar substitute with the remaining cinnamon. Sprinkle this cinnamon sugar mixture over the bites before serving for a sweet finish.
