Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.25 cup Granulated erythritol
- 0.25 cup Butter
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 2 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
- 3 ounces Cream cheese (for frosting)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for frosting)
- 0.25 cup Powdered erythritol (for frosting)
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix the almond flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and granulated erythritol. Set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and 2 ounces of cream cheese. Microwave for about 1 minute to melt, stirring halfway through until everything is smooth and combined.
Add the melted cheese mixture to the dry ingredients. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly to form a dough.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a rectangle about 10 x 8 inches.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and powdered erythritol. Melt 0.25 cup of butter, then brush it over the rolled dough, followed by spreading the cinnamon mixture evenly on top.
Starting from one end, roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Slice into 8 even pieces and arrange them in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
While baking, prepare the frosting by beating together the 3 ounces of cream cheese, 2 tablespoons of butter, 0.25 cup of powdered erythritol, 1 tablespoon of heavy cream, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Allow the rolls to cool slightly before spreading the cream cheese frosting on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
