Ingredients:

6 tbsp Butter, melted
10 oz Cream Cheese, softened (Adds richness and creaminess)
1/2 cup Swerve Confectioners Sugar Substitute (Can substitute with powdered monk fruit or allulose)
1/2 cup Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute (Ensure it’s granulated for even coverage)
4 tsp Cinnamon (Divided between the filling and the coating)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract (Enhances flavor and depth)
1 pinch Sea Salt (Balances sweetness and enhances flavors)
Low-Carb Tortillas (Ensure they’re warmed to prevent cracking)
Optional: Crushed pecans or chopped walnuts (Add for a delightful crunch)

Directions:

Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with melted butter, Swerve Confectioners Sugar Substitute, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and sea salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Roll-Ups: Take a warmed low-carb tortilla and spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly on it. If you like, sprinkle some crushed nuts over the filling for added crunch.
Roll the Tortilla: Starting from one end, carefully roll the tortilla until it forms a tight cylinder. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
Coat the Roll-Ups: In a small bowl, mix the remaining cinnamon with the Swerve Granulated Sugar Substitute. After rolling, lightly coat each roll-up in this cinnamon-sugar mixture for that extra sweetness.
Slice and Serve: Cut the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
