Ingredients

  • 2 cups Shredded Mozzarella Cheese (part‑skim, low‑moisture; shredded for convenience)
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup Coconut Flour (sifted to remove lumps)
  • 2 tablespoons Baking Powder
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Swerve Sweetener (or any erythritol‑based granulated sweetener)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted for dough; plus 3 tbsp softened for topping)
  • 3 large Eggs (beaten)
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Substitute (Swerve Brown) (granulated, erythritol‑based)
  • 2 tablespoons Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Powdered Erythritol (Swerve Confectioners) (for glaze)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Ingredients

    Sift 1/2 cup coconut flour, 2 tbsp baking powder, and 2 tbsp granulated Swerve into a bowl to remove lumps.

    Time: PT5M

  2. Melt Cheese Base

    Combine 2 cups shredded mozzarella, 4 oz softened cream cheese, and 2 tbsp melted unsalted butter in a microwave‑safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, stir, then microwave another minute and stir again until smooth.

    Time: PT2M

  3. Form the Fathead Dough

    Add the three beaten eggs and the dry‑ingredient mixture to the melted cheese. Stir quickly until a uniform dough forms. If the dough feels stiff, microwave for an additional 20 seconds and continue mixing.

    Time: PT5M

  4. Roll Out the Dough

    Place a sheet of parchment on a clean surface, lightly oil it, and transfer the dough onto it. Using a rolling pin or dowel, roll the dough into a 9‑by‑12‑inch rectangle.

    Time: PT5M

  5. Prepare Cinnamon‑Sugar Filling

    In a small bowl combine 1/4 cup Swerve brown sugar substitute with 2 tbsp ground cinnamon. Set aside.

    Time: PT2M

  6. Add Butter Layer (Optional)

    Spread 3 tbsp softened unsalted butter evenly over the rolled‑out dough.

    Time: PT1M

  7. Sprinkle Filling

    Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon‑sugar mixture over the buttered dough, ensuring no spot is left uncovered.

    Time: PT2M

  8. Roll and Cut Rolls

    Starting from the short edge, tightly roll the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife, cut the log into 12 equal pieces and place them seam‑side up in a greased 9×13 inch baking pan.

    Time: PT5M

  9. Bake the Rolls

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Bake the rolls for 14–16 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the rolls have puffed.

    Time: PT15M

    Temperature: 400°F

  10. Prepare the Cream Cheese Glaze

    While the rolls are cooling, whisk together 3 tbsp softened butter, 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup powdered erythritol until smooth.

    Time: PT5M

  11. Glaze the Rolls

    Drizzle or spread the glaze over the warm rolls. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.

    Time: PT2M
