Main Ingredients
- 1 low-carb tortilla
- 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips (e.g., LILY’S or ChocZero)
- Granulated sweetener (Truvia, allulose, monk fruit), to taste

Let’s Get Started
1. Prepare the Base
Start with a soft, low-carb tortilla. Make sure it’s at room temperature to prevent cracking when rolled. Brush the tortilla lightly with melted butter—this adds richness and helps the sweetener stick.
2. Mix the Filling
In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, natural peanut butter, and your sweetener of choice. Adjust sweetness based on your taste. Mix until smooth and creamy.
3. Spread the Filling
Use a spatula to spread the peanut butter–cream cheese mixture evenly over the tortilla. Aim for thin and smooth coverage to ensure easy rolling.
4. Add the Chocolate
Sprinkle sugar-free chocolate chips across the filling. Drizzle a teaspoon of keto-friendly chocolate sauce for extra richness.
5. Add Optional Boosts
At this stage, sprinkle your chosen add-ins:
- Nuts for crunch
- Cinnamon for warmth
- Coconut for tropical notes
- Caramel for richness
- Seeds for nutrients
6. Roll and Slice
Tightly roll the tortilla from one end to the other, creating a smooth log. Chill for 10–15 minutes to firm up, then slice into 1-inch pinwheels using a sharp knife.
7. Serve
Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for later. These store beautifully and taste even better when chilled.
Servings and Pairing
This recipe yields 6–8 pinwheels, depending on how thickly you slice them.
Perfect Pairings
- Keto hot chocolate
- Unsweetened almond milk

Variations
1. Chocolate Lover’s Pinwheels

4. Coconut Bliss

6. Almond Butter Swap

Storage Tips
- Refrigerator: Store pinwheels in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer: Freeze sliced pinwheels on a baking sheet, then store in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw before eating.
- Make-Ahead: Roll ahead of time, chill, and slice when ready to serve.
- Avoid microwaving—it softens the tortilla and filling too much.
