Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Zero-carb keto tortillas are the essential wrapper for these roll-ups, providing the crispy exterior without the carbs found in traditional flour tortillas. Look for brands specifically labeled “keto-friendly” or “zero-carb” in your grocery store’s refrigerated section.

Fresh blueberries add natural sweetness, antioxidants, and a burst of flavor in every bite. Their slight tartness balances perfectly with the creamy filling. While fresh works best, you can use frozen blueberries in a pinch – just thaw and pat dry first.

Cream cheese creates the rich, tangy base for the filling. Ensure it’s at room temperature for the smoothest mixing experience. Full-fat works best for keto, but you can use reduced-fat if preferred.

Greek yogurt adds a protein boost and helps create a lighter, more spreadable texture to the filling. Choose plain, unsweetened varieties to keep carbs in check.

Vanilla extract brings warmth and depth to the cream cheese filling. Pure vanilla extract offers the best flavor, but imitation works if that’s what you have on hand.

Butter helps the tortillas achieve that beautiful golden-brown crispiness when air-fried. The fat content also adds richness and helps satisfy keto macros.

Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute provides sweetness without the carbs or sugar. This erythritol-based sweetener behaves similarly to powdered sugar but doesn’t impact blood sugar levels. Other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit or allulose can be substituted.

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, blend cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and Swerve until smooth and creamy.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla.
Top the filling with a few fresh blueberries.
Roll each tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down on a greased air fryer tray or basket.
Brush the tops of the roll-ups with melted butter.
Air fry for 8–10 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from air fryer, dust with additional Swerve if desired, and serve warm.

Servings and Timing

This recipe makes 6 individual roll-ups, perfect for serving 3-6 people depending on appetite and whether you’re serving this as a snack or main dish. Each roll-up contains approximately 125 calories, making them a relatively light treat.

Variations

Berry Variations: Substitute raspberries, strawberries (sliced), or blackberries for the blueberries.

Chocolate Lover’s Version: Add 1 tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream cheese mixture and use raspberries instead of blueberries.

Lemon Blueberry: Add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a bright, citrusy flavor that pairs beautifully with blueberries.

Cinnamon Roll Style: Skip the berries and instead mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon with the Swerve, then sprinkle over the cream cheese before rolling.

Savory Option: Omit the sweetener and vanilla, and instead add herbs, garlic, and shredded chicken for a savory roll-up.

Nutty Crunch: Add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for added texture.

Coconut Cream: Add 2 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut flakes to the filling for tropical flavor.

Storage/Reheating

Refrigeration: Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Place parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.

Freezing: These roll-ups freeze beautifully for up to 3 months. Wrap each cooled roll-up individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe container or zip-top bag. Label with the date.

Reheating from Refrigerated: For best results, reheat refrigerated roll-ups in an air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes or in a toaster oven for 5-6 minutes until warmed through and crispy again. Microwave reheating is possible for 20-30 seconds, but the texture will be less crispy.

Reheating from Frozen: Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat using the methods above. Alternatively, reheat directly from frozen in an air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes or in a conventional oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.

FAQs

Can I make these without an air fryer?

Yes! You can bake these roll-ups in a conventional oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, you can pan-fry them in a skillet with a little butter until crispy on all sides.

What type of keto tortillas work best for this recipe?

Look for smaller-sized (6-8 inch) tortillas labeled as “zero carb” or “keto-friendly.” Popular brands include Mission Carb Balance, La Tortilla Factory, and Mama Lupe’s. Almond flour or coconut flour-based tortillas also work well.

Can I use frozen blueberries instead of fresh?

Yes, but thaw and thoroughly pat them dry first to prevent excess moisture from making your roll-ups soggy. Fresh berries provide the best texture and flavor, but frozen work in a pinch.

What can I substitute for Swerve sweetener?

Any keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit sweetener, erythritol, or allulose will work. If using a liquid sweetener, reduce the amount by about half as they tend to be more concentrated.

Are these suitable for meal prep?

Absolutely! You can prepare the cream cheese mixture up to 3 days ahead and store it in the refrigerator. You can also fully assemble the roll-ups a day ahead (don’t air fry) and store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to cook.

How can I prevent the filling from leaking out during cooking?

Make sure to place the roll-ups seam-side down in the air fryer. Don’t overfill them, and ensure you’re rolling them tightly. A toothpick can help secure particularly stubborn rolls.

Can I make a dairy-free version of this recipe?

Yes, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. Make sure your keto tortillas are also dairy-free (some contain cheese).

Why didn’t my roll-ups get crispy?

This typically happens if the air fryer is overcrowded or if the tortillas had too much moisture. Cook in batches if necessary, and make sure to pat any frozen berries completely dry before using.

How many net carbs are in each roll-up?

The exact carb count will depend on the specific keto tortillas you use, but typically each roll-up contains about 3-4g net carbs, making them suitable for most keto diets.

Can children enjoy these roll-ups?

Absolutely! These make a great lower-sugar alternative to traditional sweet treats for kids. If serving to non-keto children, you can use regular powdered sugar instead of Swerve if preferred.

Conclusion

These Crispy Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Roll-Ups strike the perfect balance between indulgence and keeping your low-carb lifestyle on track. With their crispy exterior, creamy filling, and bursts of blueberry sweetness, they’re sure to become a regular in your keto recipe rotation.
