Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups Low-Moisture Mozzarella, shredded
- 4 tbsp Cream Cheese, cubed
- 1 ½ cups Superfine Almond Flour
- ¼ cup Erythritol or Monk Fruit Sweetener blend
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 large Egg, whisked
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 4 tbsp Butter, softened
- ¼ cup Brown Swerve or preferred sweetener blend (for filling)
- 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened (for glaze)
- ½ cup Powdered Erythritol/Monk Fruit (sieved)
- 2–3 tbsp Heavy Whipping Cream or Almond Milk
- ½ tsp Vanilla Extract (for glaze)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Fathead Base: Combine shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds until fully melted and gooey. Stir until a uniform, sticky mass forms.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Allow the melted cheese mixture to cool for 2–3 minutes (it should be warm, but not scorching hot). Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract, mixing rapidly.
- Form the Dough: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, and sweetener. Add the dry ingredients to the cheese mixture and mix vigorously until a cohesive, smooth dough ball forms. If the dough is too sticky to handle, chill briefly (5–10 minutes).
- Roll and Spread the Filling: Place the dough between two large sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough into a uniform rectangle, approximately 12x8 inches (30x20 cm) and about ⅓ inch thick.
- Create the Cinnamon Layer: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, cinnamon, and brown sweetener until a smooth paste forms. Spread the filling evenly over the dough rectangle, leaving a small, 1-inch border on one of the long edges.
- Roll and Slice: Starting from the long edge opposite the clean border, tightly roll the dough into a log. Use dental floss or a very sharp knife to slice the log into 8 equal pieces.
- Bake: Arrange the rolls, cut side up, into a prepared 9x9 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are set and lightly golden brown.
- Prepare and Apply Glaze: While the rolls cool slightly, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, vanilla, and heavy cream until completely smooth and thick.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle or spread the cream cheese glaze generously over the warm rolls. Serve immediately.
