Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 low-carb tortilla
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips
- Granulated sweetener of choice (like Truvia or allulose), to taste plus extra for sprinkling
- Butter, melted (for brushing)
- Keto-friendly chocolate sauce (for serving)
Optional Add-Ins
- Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts) for crunchy texture
- A sprinkle of cinnamon or pumpkin spice for warm flavor
- Unsweetened coconut flakes for added texture and tropical taste
- A drizzle of keto-friendly caramel sauce for extra decadence
- Hemp seeds or chia seeds for a nutritional boost
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Lay out the low-carb tortilla on a flat surface to ensure an even workspace for spreading the fillings.
- Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese all over the tortilla for a smooth, creamy base layer.
- Add Peanut Butter: Layer 2 tablespoons of natural peanut butter evenly on top of the cream cheese, creating a rich and flavorful filling.
- Sprinkle Chocolate Chips and Sweetener: Evenly distribute 1 tablespoon of sugar-free chocolate chips and your chosen granulated sweetener over the peanut butter layer to add sweetness and texture.
- Roll the Tortilla: Carefully roll the tortilla tightly to keep the fillings secure inside, forming a compact log shape.
- Brush with Butter and Add Sweetener: Brush the outside of the rolled tortilla with melted butter and sprinkle additional granulated sweetener on top for extra crispness and sweetness.
- Slice into Pinwheels: Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled tortilla into six evenly sized pinwheels, showcasing the creamy layers inside.
- Air Fry: Place the pinwheels in the air fryer basket, making sure they are spaced apart and not touching. Air fry at 400°F for 6-8 minutes until the pinwheels are golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the pinwheels to cool slightly as the filling will be hot. Serve warm with keto-friendly chocolate sauce for dipping or drizzling.
