Turn your favorite dessert into your favorite snack or appetizer. Keto carrot cake roll-ups are a tasty finger food (and low-carb too!).
Keto Carrot Cake
If you’re dreaming of eating a carrot cake on the keto diet, these are the next best thing. I think they’re even better!
Compared to all the effort of mixing and baking a cake, these roll-ups are ready in 15-20 minutes. And instead of having to decorate and slice a cake, you can just pick these up with your hands and eat them!
Carrot cake is one of the best springtime desserts. You’ll see it on a lot of Easter menus.
So I had to make a roll-up version that helps you stay within your macros. I’ve made other carrot cake desserts before, too.
My No Bake Low Carb Carrot Cake Bars taste just like a real carrot cake. And if you like truffles, then you’ll love my Low-Carb White Chocolate Carrot Cake Balls.
Carrot Cake Roll-Ups
Do you have a sweet tooth? One of my favorite ways to keep my sugar cravings in check is to make low-carb versions of my favorite desserts.
These carrot cake roll-ups only have 3 grams net carbs in each serving. If you manage your macros correctly, you could enjoy two of them and feel completely satisfied!
To make them, you’ll need some street-taco sized tortillas. I love the kinds from Mission brand.
They are zero carbs and taste just like flour tortillas. They’re perfectly soft and easy to use.
If you use a larger version, it will be more difficult to roll up and use.
Dessert With Carrots
Yes, these carrot cake roll-ups are made with real carrots! To make them mix in with the filling perfectly, I used shredded carrot pieces.
Don’t use matchstick carrots. I suggest using a cheese grater and grating the carrots at home.
If you have a food processor, use it! It will shred the carrots into really thin, tiny pieces, too.
The reason you need the carrots to be shredded is because you will only use a very small amount of them in the filling. Matchstick or sliced carrots are too thick and will stand out too much when you add them to the cream cheese mixture.
Keto Carrot Dessert
To make the carrot cake roll-ups taste like a classic carrot cake, use the correct spices. I used a combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
If you have some, you could use 1/2 a teaspoon of either pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice instead. It has all the same ingredients (and a few extra ones that will still make the roll-ups taste amazing).
You might see that I used walnuts, too. Just like a classic carrot cake, I added the chopped nuts to give it an authentic texture but if you don’t like nuts, then leave them out.
I suggest eating the roll-ups within three days. Store your air-fried roll-ups in an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator.
Keto Desserts
I love making low-carb desserts! Use the search bar here on my site to look for desserts with specific ingredients and you’ll probably find them.
My Low Carb Cookies and Cream Fluff is one of my favorites because it tastes like an Oreo. And when I’m craving both salty and sweet, I like to make Keto Chocolate Caramel Nut Clusters.
If you like really sweet desserts, then I suggest making Low-Carb Blueberry Fluff or Low-Carb Pumpkin Magic Bars. They are so rich you’ll swear they have real sugar.
For something a bit healthier, make some Keto Cinnamon Brown Sugar Zucchini Cake.
