Ingredients
Method
- Make the pancake batter: In a blender or bowl, combine eggs, cream cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, almond milk, vanilla, sweetener, and a pinch of salt. Blend or whisk until smooth with no lumps.
- Preheat the skillet: Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or coconut oil.
- Cook the wraps: Pour in a small ladle of batter (about 1/4 cup) and swirl to form a thin circle, like a crepe. Cook 1–2 minutes until the edges lift and the top looks set. Flip and cook another 20–30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter.
- Mix the filling: In a bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sweetener, heavy cream, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth and fluffy. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
- Prep the strawberries: Toss sliced strawberries with lemon juice and sweetener if using. Pat dry with a paper towel so the roll-ups don’t get soggy.
- Assemble: Spread a generous layer of cream cheese filling over each pancake wrap. Arrange a line of strawberry slices down the center.
- Roll: Gently roll from one side to the other, keeping the filling tucked inside. Place seam-side down.
- Serve: Slice each roll-up in half if you like, then top with extra berries or a drizzle of sugar-free chocolate. Enjoy right away or chill for a firmer texture.

Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: Store assembled roll-ups in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best texture, keep strawberries separate and add them just before serving.

- Meal prep tip: Make the filling and wraps ahead, store separately, and assemble the day you plan to eat them.
Health Benefits
- Low in carbs: These roll-ups fit a keto lifestyle, keeping blood sugar steadier than traditional pancakes.
- Protein and fat: Eggs, cream cheese, and heavy cream offer satisfying protein and fats to keep you full longer.
- Fiber from flours: Almond and coconut flours add a little fiber compared to standard wheat flour.
- Antioxidants: Strawberries bring vitamin C and antioxidants, adding freshness without too many carbs per serving.
- Refined sugar-free: Using erythritol or allulose helps you enjoy sweetness with fewer net carbs.
What Not to Do
- Don’t make the wraps too thick: Thick batter won’t roll well and may crack.
Aim for thin, crepe-like rounds.
- Don’t skip softening the cream cheese: Cold cream cheese makes lumpy filling. Let it sit at room temp 20–30 minutes.
- Don’t overload with strawberries: Too many can add extra carbs and cause sogginess.
- Don’t crank the heat: High heat can burn the wraps before they set. Medium heat works best.
- Don’t skip drying the berries: Patting them dry keeps the roll-ups neat and helps the filling hold.
Recipe Variations
- Chocolate swirl: Add 1 teaspoon cocoa powder to the filling and a few drops of sugar-free chocolate syrup inside before rolling.
- Lemon cheesecake style: Add extra lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice to the filling.
Finish with a dusting of powdered sweetener.
- Berry blend: Mix in a few raspberries or blueberries for a mixed-berry twist, keeping portions small to stay keto.
- Cinnamon toast: Sprinkle cinnamon and a pinch of sweetener over the filling, then add strawberries for a warm-spiced flavor.
- Nutty crunch: Add chopped pecans or almonds inside the roll for texture. A light sprinkle goes a long way.
- Dairy-light option: Swap part of the cream cheese with full-fat Greek yogurt if you’re not strictly keto. Taste and adjust sweetness.
FAQ
Are strawberries keto?
Yes, in moderation.
Strawberries are one of the lower-carb fruits. Keep portions small and balanced with fats and protein to stay within your daily carb goals.
Can I make these without almond flour?
You can use all coconut flour, but you’ll need much less. Start with 1 to 1.5 teaspoons coconut flour total, since it absorbs a lot of moisture.
Adjust with a splash more liquid if the batter is too thick.
What sweetener works best?
Powdered erythritol or allulose blends well and keeps the filling smooth. Granulated sweeteners can feel gritty unless you dissolve them first. Adjust to taste.
Can I serve them warm?
Yes.
Let the wraps cool for a minute so the filling doesn’t melt, then assemble and serve slightly warm. For a firmer cheesecake bite, chill the assembled roll-ups for 20–30 minutes.
How do I keep the pancakes from sticking?
Use a good nonstick skillet and a light coating of butter or coconut oil. Wait until the edges lift and the top looks set before flipping.
What’s a typical serving size?
Two small roll-ups or one large roll-up is a reasonable serving for a snack or light breakfast.
Adjust based on your macros and appetite.
