Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Spatula
  • Rolling Pin
  • Parchment paper
  • Baking dish
  • Pastry Brush
  • Sharp knife or dental floss
  • Hand mixer or whisk

Ingredients
  

For the Dough:

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut flour
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum optional, for elasticity
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 large egg

For the Cinnamon Filling:

  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 2 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 teaspoons heavy cream to adjust consistency

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line your baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

Step 2: Make the Dough

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and fully combined.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, powdered sweetener, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum (if using).
  • Add the melted cheese mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. Knead with your hands or a spatula until smooth.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

  • Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 4: Add the Cinnamon Filling

  • In a small bowl, mix the powdered sweetener and cinnamon.
  • Brush the rolled-out dough with the melted butter, then evenly sprinkle the cinnamon-sweetener mixture on top.

Step 5: Roll and Cut the Dough

  • Starting from one of the longer sides, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.
  • Use a sharp knife or dental floss to slice the log into 8-10 rolls.

Step 6: Bake

  • Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and set.

Step 7: Make the Frosting

  • While the rolls are baking, combine the softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and heavy cream in a bowl. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat until smooth and creamy.

Step 8: Frost and Serve

  • Once the rolls are out of the oven and slightly cooled, spread the frosting generously on top. Serve warm and enjoy!
