Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 85 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 130 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Coconut flour
- 10 grams Baking powder
- 50 grams Granulated erythritol or sweetener of choice
- 2 units Eggs, large
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 10 grams Ground cinnamon
- 60 grams Unsalted butter, melted
- 100 grams Additional cream cheese for frosting
- 30 grams Powdered erythritol
- 30 ml Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line an 8-inch round baking dish with parchment paper or grease well.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and 85 grams of softened cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix in eggs and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a piece of parchment paper and knead a few times until smooth. Roll it out to a rectangle approximately 10x12 inches.
Brush the dough with melted butter, leaving a small border around the edges. Mix together granulated erythritol and ground cinnamon, then sprinkle over the buttered dough.
Carefully roll up the dough rectangle into a log, starting from one of the longer sides, using the parchment paper to assist. Slice the roll into 8 equal pieces and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the rolls are puffed and golden brown.
While the rolls are baking, prepare the frosting by beating together 100 grams of cream cheese, powdered erythritol, and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
Remove the cinnamon rolls from the oven and let them cool slightly. Spread the cream cheese frosting over the warm rolls before serving.
