Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream Cheese (softened, room temperature)
• 1 cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded; helps bind the dough)
• 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
• 0.5 cup Coconut Flour (sifted)
• 0.25 cup Stevia Granulated (or any preferred keto‑friendly sweetener)
• 1 tsp Baking Powder
• 0.5 tsp Xanthan Gum
• 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter (melted for filling; extra 2 tbsp for topping)
• 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
• 2 tbsp Brown Sugar Substitute (e.g., Swerve or Lakanto brown blend)
• 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
• 4 oz Cream Cheese (for frosting) (softened)

Instructions

1. Melt the cheeses

   Place the softened cream cheese and shredded mozzarella in a microwave‑safe bowl and heat on high for 2 minutes, or until fully melted and combined.

   Time: PT2M

2. Process cheese mixture

   Transfer the melted cheese to the food processor and blend until smooth, creamy and slightly sticky.

   Time: PT2M

3. Form the dough

   Add the eggs, coconut flour, stevia, baking powder and xanthan gum to the processor. Pulse until a cohesive sticky dough forms.

   Time: PT3M

4. Flatten the dough

   Wet your hands slightly, place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, and press flat with a flat baking tray (or rolling pin) to about 0.2 inch (½ cm) thickness.

   Time: PT5M

5. Prepare cinnamon‑butter filling

   In a small bowl, melt 4 tbsp butter, then stir in ground cinnamon and brown‑sugar substitute until well combined.

   Time: PT2M

6. Brush and roll the dough

   Remove the top parchment sheet, brush the melted butter‑cinnamon mixture evenly over the exposed dough, then carefully roll the dough up, keeping the parchment on the outside to prevent sticking.

   Time: PT5M

7. Cut and arrange rolls

   Using a sharp knife, cut the rolled dough into 8 equal pieces. Butter a 9‑inch cake tin, place the rolls seam‑side down, and brush the tops with a little extra melted butter.

   Time: PT2M

8. Bake the rolls

   Bake in a pre‑heated oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the interior is set.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: 200°C

9. Make the cream‑cheese frosting

   While the rolls bake, combine the remaining 4 oz cream cheese, vanilla extract and stevia in the food processor. Blend until smooth and thick.

   Time: PT3M

10. Finish and serve

    Remove the rolls from the oven, let cool 2 minutes, then dollop or pipe the cream‑cheese frosting over each roll.

    Time: PT2M
