Tips & Variations

• Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier blending and a smooth filling.
• For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or ground cloves to the cream cheese mixture.
• If you prefer a sweeter bite, adjust the amount of Swerve to taste or use your preferred keto-friendly sweetener.
• Serve the bites with a drizzle of sugar-free maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent finish.

Storage

Store any leftover cinnamon cream cheese bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat to maintain crispiness, or warm briefly in a microwave, though the bite may lose some crisp texture.

FAQs

Can I use regular tortillas instead of zero carb tortillas?

Yes, you can use regular tortillas, but be aware this will increase the carb content and alter the nutritional profile, which may not suit a strict keto diet.

Can these bites be frozen after cooking?

It’s best to freeze them after rolling but before cooking. Once cooked, they can be stored in the fridge but freezing may affect their texture upon reheating.
