Bear with me while I try to post more often. It's not so much that I'm busy, I just forget! I'm in week 72 of my Keto journey and have lost a total of 46.2 pounds.....hooray!!! This Keto lifestyle has literally become just that, a 'lifetyle' and I am militant about staying Keto but every once in awhile, ya gotta have something sweet. SO....when you do, here's a great idea. I call them my Cinnamon & Sugar Free Chocolate Chip Pinwheels and they are D-Lish! Enjoy.
These Pinwheels are great right out of the oven or cold from the fridge. I like them without the drizzle but the boys like them, with.
Start off by making a double batch of Fathead dough. You microwave 3.5 cups of grated mozzarella cheese and 4 tbsp of cream cheese. To this mixture add 1.5 cups of almond flour, 1/4 cup Erythritol and 2 eggs. With damp hands work this into a ball of dough. Place on parchment paper and pat it out into a circle. Place another parchment paper over the dough and work with your palms and fingers to form a rectangle with the dough or you could use a rolling pin. Spread 6 oz of cream cheese (you may want to warm in microwave or use room temperature) over the entire dough. Microwave together another 1/4 cup Erythritol , 1/2 cup of butter and 2 tbsp of cinnamon and pour over the cream cheese spread, evenly. Sprinkle some sugar free chocolate chips over the dough as well. Using the parchment paper to help lift the dough, very carefully roll up the rectangle to make a long log and stick it in the freezer for about 45 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and cut slices (I got 50). Place the slices on a cookie sheet with parchment paper and cook for 12-14 minutes at 375....or golden brown. The drizzle is 4 oz of melted cream cheese, 2 tbsp of Erythritol and 1 tsp of vanilla. I used a piping bag but a baggy would work, as well. I also sprinkled just a tiny bit of Erythritol on top of each one. Absolutely delicious!!

yummy... will be making these this weekend. Can the Erythritol be substituted with stevia or for best results should I use Erythritol?
ReplyDeleteI would really use Erythritol if you can.....stevia can go south on ya as far as taste where Erythritol always tastes great! ;)
