Shopping List – Ingredients

• Low-carb tortillas (4 small, 4–6 inches; look for 3–5g net carbs per tortilla)
• Cream cheese (6 oz, softened)
• Fresh or frozen blueberries (3/4 cup; if frozen, don’t thaw)
• Granular keto sweetener (2–3 tablespoons, to taste; allulose or erythritol blend)
• Vanilla extract (1 teaspoon)
• Lemon zest (1/2 teaspoon) and fresh lemon juice (1 teaspoon)
• Cinnamon (1/2 teaspoon)
• Unsalted butter (2 tablespoons), for pan-frying
• Almond flour (1 tablespoon, optional, for extra crunch)
• Pinch of salt
• Powdered keto sweetener (optional, for dusting)

The Method – Instructions

1. Soften and whip the filling. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, 1.5–2 tablespoons granular sweetener, vanilla, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and airy.
2. Blueberry prep. Toss blueberries with a pinch of cinnamon.

   If using frozen berries, keep them frozen—less mess, better structure.

3. Warm tortillas. Briefly heat tortillas in a dry pan for 15–20 seconds per side to make them flexible and roll-proof.
4. Assemble. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. Add a line of blueberries on top. Don’t overfill (tempting, I know).
5. Roll tight. Fold the sides in slightly, then roll from the bottom up into a snug cylinder.

   Seam side down.

6. Crunch upgrade (optional). Mix almond flour with a pinch of cinnamon and a teaspoon of sweetener. Lightly press the exterior of the roll-up into this mixture for extra texture.
7. Pan-fry. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Melt butter, then place roll-ups seam-side down.

   Cook 1–2 minutes per side until golden and crisp, rotating to brown all sides. Don’t rush; color = flavor.

8. Finish. Remove and rest 1 minute. Dust with powdered keto sweetener if you’re feeling fancy.
9. Serve. Slice in halves or thirds.

   Enjoy warm for peak creaminess and blueberry pop.

Storage Tips

• Fridge: Store cooled roll-ups in an airtight container up to 3 days. Re-crisp in a skillet with a touch of butter or air fryer (350°F, 3–4 minutes).
• Freezer: Assemble but don’t pan-fry. Freeze on a sheet tray, then transfer to a bag for up to 2 months.

  Fry from frozen over medium-low heat to warm through, then bump heat to crisp.

• Make-ahead: Keep the cream cheese filling in the fridge for 5 days. Assemble and cook on demand.

Nutritional Perks

• Keto-friendly: Low net carbs thanks to low-carb tortillas and blueberries, which are one of the most keto-compatible fruits.
• Protein + fat: Cream cheese and butter provide satiety, helping curb dessert binges (we’ve all been there).
• Antioxidants: Blueberries bring anthocyanins and vitamin C—nice to have when your sweet craving is acting up.
• Customizable sweetness: You control the sweetener type and amount, so no sugar crash, IMO.

Pitfalls to Watch Out For

• Overfilling: Leads to leaks, tears, and sadness. Keep it modest for roll integrity.
• Too high heat: Butter burns before the tortilla crisps.

  Medium heat = golden crunch without scorch.

• Wet berries: Thawed frozen berries can waterlog the filling. Use them frozen or pat dry.
• Hidden carbs: Not all “low-carb” tortillas are equal. Check net carbs and fiber sources.
• Grainy sweetener: Some erythritol blends stay gritty.

  Powder it or use allulose for smoother results.

Different Ways to Make This

• Air fryer version: Spray roll-ups lightly with avocado oil. Air fry at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, turning once. Brush with melted butter after for flavor.
• French toast twist: Dip rolled tortillas quickly in a beaten egg with a splash of almond milk and cinnamon.

  Pan-fry in butter for a keto “churro” vibe.

• Cheesecake-style: Add a tablespoon of sour cream to the filling for tang. It slaps.
• Flavor swap: Try raspberries, chopped strawberries, or a mix of berries. Keep portions in check for carbs.
• Nutty crunch: Sprinkle crushed toasted pecans or almonds inside before rolling.
• Chocolate moment: Add sugar-free dark chocolate shavings to the filling, or drizzle with melted keto chocolate post-fry.

FAQ

Are blueberries really keto?

In moderation, yes.

Blueberries are higher in carbs than some berries but still workable in small amounts. Keeping the portion to about 2 tablespoons per roll-up keeps you on track.

What’s the best sweetener for this recipe?

Allulose gives the smoothest texture and best browning without cooling aftertaste. Erythritol blends work too—just consider powdering them first to avoid grit.

Can I make these without tortillas?

You can use egg-thin or cheese-based wraps for ultra-low carb, but the texture shifts from “crunchy dessert” to “crepe-adjacent.” Still good, just different.

How do I prevent soggy roll-ups?

Keep fillings modest, use medium heat for even crisping, and serve right away.

If storing, re-crisp in a skillet or air fryer before eating. Avoid microwaving unless you enjoy limp sadness.

Can I bake them instead of pan-frying?

Yes. Brush with melted butter and bake at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping once.

They won’t get quite as shattery-crisp as pan-fried, but still solid.

What tortillas should I buy?

Look for low-carb tortillas with 3–5g net carbs, good fiber, and minimal wheat fillers. Coconut flour tortillas can work but are more delicate; handle with care.

In Conclusion

Crispy Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Roll-Ups are proof you don’t need to pick between results and pleasure. They’re fast, crunchy, creamy, and totally compatible with your macros.

Keep a batch of filling in the fridge, a pack of tortillas on standby, and you’re one skillet away from dessert domination anytime. Your diet just got an upgrade—no apology tour required.
