Top Tips for Perfecting Guilt-Free Crispy Keto Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll Ups
- Roll the dough carefully: Make sure your dough is evenly rolled out to avoid uneven baking and ensure a lovely crisp all around.
- Flavor variations: Experiment with different fillings! Try adding unsweetened cocoa powder or a dash of nutmeg along with the filling for a little twist.
- Monitor cooking time: Every stovetop is different; keep an eye on the rolls to avoid burning. They should be golden brown and crispy unblemished.
Storing and Reheating Tips
If you happen to have leftovers (though we doubt that!), you can store these tasty roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, donut freeze them by placing them on a baking sheet until firm, then transferring them to a freezer bag for up to one month. To reheat, simply pop them in the toaster oven for 5 minutes or heat them in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. You won’t lose their amazing texture, and they’ll taste just as good as when you first made them!
