Crispy Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Roll-Ups: A Guilt-Free Dessert That Feels Like Indulgence

A Sweet Story From My Keto Kitchen

If there’s one thing I’ve learned on my keto journey, it’s this: cravings don’t go away—they just evolve. They become quieter, more focused, and sneakier. But when they hit, they demand attention.

And when my sweet tooth calls, these crispy keto blueberry cream cheese roll-ups are what answer. Every bite feels like a delightful rebellion, a little moment of dessert joy tucked inside a low-carb life.

I still remember the first time I created these. I wanted something that tasted like cheesecake, reminded me of summer blueberries, and had the satisfying crunch of a churro—all without derailing my progress.

The result? These roll-ups. They’re sweet but not cloying, rich but not heavy, and indulgent without guilt.

Why You’ll Love This Dessert

Let’s be honest: staying keto can feel restrictive, especially when it comes to desserts. That’s why this recipe is a small miracle. These roll-ups are:

• Crispy on the outside
• Creamy in the middle
• Bursting with juicy blueberries
• Low in carbs
• Quick to make

There are just 3 net carbs per roll-up, and they’re packed with healthy fats and antioxidants. It’s a dessert you can actually feel good about.

And the flavor? Imagine the tangy sweetness of a blueberry cheesecake paired with the crispy golden edges of a churro. That’s what you’re getting in every bite.

Let’s Talk Ingredients

This recipe is beautifully simple, but each ingredient plays an important role. Here’s a closer look at what you’ll need:

• Zero-Carb Small Keto Tortillas: These are the foundation. They’re pliable, crisp up perfectly in the air fryer, and hold all that rich filling inside.
• Fresh Blueberries: A keto-friendly fruit rich in antioxidants, vitamin K, and fiber. Fresh is best for flavor and texture.
• Cream Cheese: Rich, creamy, and satisfying, it makes up the bulk of the filling and helps bind everything together.
• Plain Greek Yogurt: Adds tanginess and protein. It complements the cream cheese and gives the filling a luscious texture.
• Vanilla Extract: Just a splash enhances the sweetness and rounds out the flavors.
• Swerve Confectioners Sugar Substitute: A keto-safe sweetener that mimics powdered sugar. It sweetens the filling and creates that irresistible sugary coating.
• Butter: Melted butter brushed on top helps the roll-ups crisp beautifully in the air fryer and adds a rich depth of flavor.

Are Blueberries Keto-Friendly?

Yes, they absolutely are. Blueberries might be slightly higher in carbs than other berries, but in moderation, they’re perfect for keto.

Especially in a recipe like this where you only need a small amount, you get all the benefits of their flavor and nutrition without the sugar overload.

Each bite-sized berry adds a burst of sweetness, a pop of tartness, and a load of antioxidants. Plus, they pair beautifully with cream cheese.

What If You Don’t Have Fresh Blueberries?

Fresh blueberries are ideal, but frozen will work in a pinch. If you’re using frozen, make sure to let them thaw completely, then blot dry with paper towels.

Excess moisture will make the filling runny and prevent the roll-ups from crisping properly.

Why I Love These So Much

There’s something nostalgic about biting into a crispy pastry that gives way to a soft, creamy center. These roll-ups remind me of bakery treats I used to indulge in—without any of the sugar crashes afterward.

They’re quick to whip up, easy to store, and a surefire way to impress anyone who thinks keto means boring food.

Whether you’re curled up with a book, treating yourself after dinner, or surprising a friend with a thoughtful keto treat, these roll-ups deliver.

Other Blueberry Keto Recipes I Love

If you end up with extra blueberries (lucky you!), don’t let them go to waste. Here are a few other fun ways I love to use them:

• Keto TikTok Chocolate Covered Blueberry Bites: Tiny, refreshing, and poppable. The perfect warm-weather snack.
• Keto Blueberry Dump Cake: Sticky, sweet, and shockingly low in carbs. A crowd-pleaser.
• Keto Blueberry Chaffles: A dreamy breakfast that tastes like dessert but still fits your macros.

I’ve also made a No-Bake Keto Blueberry Cheesecake that’s always a hit at parties. It’s creamy, gorgeous, and surprisingly simple to pull together.

But for now, let’s go step by step through today’s recipe.

How to Make Crispy Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Roll-Ups

Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, a splash of vanilla extract, and Swerve confectioners sugar substitute. Using a fork or hand mixer, blend the ingredients until smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.

This filling should be thick and spreadable. Taste it—if you prefer it sweeter, add a tiny bit more sweetener.

Step 2: Lay Out the Tortillas

Place the zero-carb tortillas on a clean, flat surface. Make sure they’re at room temperature so they roll easily and don’t tear.

If your tortillas feel stiff or cold, microwave them for about 5–10 seconds to soften.

Step 3: Add the Cream Cheese Mixture

Spread a generous line of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla. You want a visible layer, about 1–2 tablespoons per tortilla.

Don’t spread it all the way to the edges—leave a bit of a border to prevent overflow during rolling and cooking.

Step 4: Add the Blueberries

Sprinkle fresh blueberries directly on top of the cream cheese line. Depending on the size of your tortilla, 6–8 berries is usually perfect.

Gently press them into the filling so they don’t roll out when you wrap the tortilla.

Step 5: Roll ‘Em Up

Starting at one side, roll each tortilla tightly around the filling. Once rolled, place seam-side down on a plate or rack.

This step is essential. A tight roll ensures the filling stays inside and creates that perfect spiral when you bite in.

Step 6: Brush with Butter

Melt butter in a small bowl, then use a pastry brush to coat the tops and sides of each roll-up. This step ensures a golden, crispy finish in the air fryer.

Make sure every exposed surface is covered—it adds both flavor and crispiness.

Step 7: Air Fry to Perfection

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F. Arrange the roll-ups seam-side down in a greased air fryer basket or rack, ensuring they’re not touching.

Cook for 8–10 minutes, checking around the 8-minute mark. They should be golden brown, crispy, and slightly bubbling at the seams.

Step 8: Dust and Serve

Once they’re out of the air fryer, transfer the roll-ups to a serving plate. While still warm, dust the tops with a bit more Swerve confectioners sugar substitute.

This gives that “funnel cake” vibe and adds the perfect finishing touch. Serve warm and enjoy immediately.

Nutrition Info: Staying Keto Without Sacrifice

Each roll-up contains about 3 grams of net carbs, making them an excellent treat for anyone following a low-carb or ketogenic diet.

They’re also high in healthy fats and provide a small amount of protein thanks to the Greek yogurt. All this wrapped in a crispy, satisfying shell.

Storing and Reheating Tips

These roll-ups are best fresh out of the air fryer, but they store surprisingly well too.

• Fridge: Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. They’ll lose a little crispness but still taste great.
• Reheat: Pop them back in the air fryer at 350°F for 2–3 minutes to revive the crunch.

I don’t recommend freezing these. The cream cheese filling and tortillas don’t hold up well to thawing.

Pro Tips for Success

• Soft Tortillas = Easy Rolling: Always use room temperature tortillas or warm them slightly for smoother rolling.
• Secure Edges if Needed: If your tortillas tend to unroll, secure with a toothpick before air frying.
• Don’t Overfill: Too much filling can cause them to burst. Keep it moderate and even.
• Use a Sweetener You Love: I used Swerve, but you can use your preferred keto-friendly powdered sweetener.

Final Thoughts: Dessert That Loves You Back

Dessert should never be something you fear. It should bring joy, comfort, and satisfaction—and these keto blueberry cream cheese roll-ups do exactly that. They feel indulgent but are rooted in whole, keto-approved ingredients.

For me, they’re more than just a sweet treat. They’re proof that with a little creativity, even the most tempting desserts can be reimagined into something nourishing, exciting, and guilt-free.

Next time that craving hits, give these a try. One bite in, and you’ll be hooked—just like I was.

Happy keto baking!
