Yield 8 Rolls
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (grass-fed option) (dairy-free option available)
3 ounces cream cheese (dairy-free option available)
3/4 cup almond flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp. softened butter, not melted
2 tbsp. nuts of choice (pecan or almonds work great with recipe)
1 tbsp. cinnamon
2 tbsp. brown swerve or pure monk fruit
2 ounces cream cheese or dairy-free cream cheese
1-2 tbsp. unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk
10-15 drops vanilla liquid stevia
Crushed nuts for extra crunch
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F and grease baking tray or muffin tin and set aside.
Step 2: For the dough; in medium mixing bowl, add mozzarella cheese and cream cheese and pop in oven, checking every 30 seconds to 1 minute, remove from oven and stir until combined, put back in oven and check after a minute again, making sure it doesn't burn. The cheese and cream cheese should just be combined and melted together. (you can also use a convection oven)
Step 3: Add almond flour and baking powder to melted cheese and mix until combined and dough forms. The dough will be like a soft ball.
Step 4: Between two parchment papers, roll the dough into rectangle roughly 13x10.
Step 4: for the filling; brush butter on top of dough. Mix brown swerve and cinnamon together and sprinkle on top on butter and top with chopped nuts of choice.
Step 5: Roll dough as tight as you can, without breaking it, into a log and cut into 8 equal portions.
Step 6: Carefully add rolls to greased muffin or baking tin and bake for 15-20 mins, or until golden brown.
Step 7: For topping; add all cream cheese icing ingredients together and using electric mixer, mix until smooth. Add more liquid stevia if you like it super sweet.
Step 8: Top each roll with cream cheese icing and garnish with chopped nuts.
Step 9: Enjoy!
