Ingredients
  

For the Pinwheels
  • 4 pieces low-carb tortillas Ensure they're fresh for the best texture.
  • 1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter Natural or no-sugar-added is ideal.
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened Provides a rich texture.
For the Sweetener
  • 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol Or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener, adjust to taste.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For extra flavor.
Optional Toppings
  • ΒΌ cup chopped unsweetened dark chocolate For a decadent touch.
  • A sprinkle of sea salt To elevate the peanut butter flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients and placing them on a clean countertop.
  2. In a bowl, combine the soft cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Lay a low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the peanut butter filling evenly across the tortilla, leaving just a small border at the edges.
  4. If using, sprinkle chopped dark chocolate or a pinch of sea salt over the filling.
  5. Starting from one side, carefully roll the tortilla to form a tight pinwheel. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas.
  6. Once all pinwheels are rolled, place them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up. This step makes slicing easier.
  7. Remove the pinwheels from the fridge and slice them into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-2 inches thick.
  8. Serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

Notes

Use whole grain or almond flour tortillas for added texture and flavor. Try adding a tablespoon of cocoa powder to the peanut butter mixture for a chocolatey twist. For a nut-free option, substitute sunflower seed butter for peanut butter. If you want to add some crunch, toss in some chopped nuts or seeds along with the chocolate. Store any leftovers in the fridge, and do let them come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
