Recipe Details
- Flavor Profile: A rich and tangy cream cheese filling sweetened with vanilla and Swerve is balanced by the tart pop of fresh blueberries and a buttery, crisp exterior.
- Texture: The air fryer crisps the tortilla into a flaky pastry-like shell, while the inside remains hot, soft, and creamy.
- Time: 10 minutes prep, 10 minutes cook time.
- Difficulty: Very Easy. It involves mixing a quick filling and rolling tortillas.
What You’ll Need
To make this recipe, you will need an air fryer to achieve that “fried” texture without the oil bath. A small mixing bowl and a pastry brush for the butter are also essential. The ingredients rely on keto staples like zero-carb tortillas and Swerve sweetener, paired with fresh dairy and fruit.
Ingredient Notes
- Zero-Carb Small Keto Tortillas – These are the vessel for the filling. Brands like Mission or La Banderita make great carb-balance options that crisp up well.
- Cream Cheese – Use 6 ounces of full-fat cream cheese, softened. This is the base of the cheesecake filling.
- Fresh Blueberries – Fresh berries work best as they hold their shape slightly better than frozen, providing juicy bursts of flavor.
- Plain Greek Yogurt – A small amount adds a nice tang and lightens the texture of the filling.
- Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute – This zero-calorie sweetener dissolves perfectly into the cream cheese without being gritty.
- Vanilla Extract – Essential for that classic cheesecake aroma.
- Butter – Melted butter brushed on the outside helps the tortillas brown and crisp up in the air fryer.
Add-ins and Substitutions
- Berry Variations – Raspberries or diced strawberries are excellent low-carb alternatives to blueberries.
- Cinnamon – Sprinkle a little cinnamon into the sweetener dusting for a churro-style finish.
- Lemon Zest – Adding fresh lemon zest to the filling brightens up the rich cream cheese.
How to Make Sweet Keto Blueberry Cheesecake Roll-Ups
- Prep: Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees.
- Make Filling: Add the softened cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and 3 tbsp Swerve to a mixing bowl. Blend until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-combined.
- Fill: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla.
- Add Fruit: Top the cream cheese layer evenly with fresh blueberries.
- Roll: Roll the tortillas tightly closed around the filling. Place them seam side down into a well-greased air fryer basket or rack (you can use a pan insert if you have one to catch drips).
- Brush: Brush the top of the tortillas generously with the melted butter.
- Cook: Air fry for 8-10 minutes, or until the roll-ups are browned and crispy on the outside.
- Serve: Dust with additional Swerve Confectioner’s sweetener before serving warm.
Pro Tip: Don’t overfill the tortillas! If you put too much filling inside, it will ooze out into the air fryer basket during cooking. Stick to a thin layer down the center for the perfect ratio.
Recipe Tips
- Seam Side Down: Placing the rolls seam side down is crucial. The weight of the roll seals it shut as it cooks, so you don’t need toothpicks.
- Softened Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is truly room temperature before mixing. If it is cold, you will have lumps in your cheesecake filling.
- Watch the Heat: Air fryers vary. Check them at the 6-minute mark. If they are browning too fast, lower the temperature to 350 degrees.
FAQs
- Can I bake these in the oven? Yes! Place them on a baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for 10-12 minutes until golden.
- Can I use frozen berries? You can, but thaw and drain them first. Frozen berries release more liquid, which can make the tortilla soggy.
- How do I store leftovers? These are best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer to crisp them back up.
Serving Suggestions
- Dessert: Serve warm with a dollop of keto whipped cream.
- Breakfast: Pair with a hot coffee or tea for a sweet start to the day.
- Dip: A side of sugar-free strawberry sauce creates a nice dipping experience.
Make This Recipe in Advance
- Filling Prep: You can mix the cheesecake filling a few days in advance and store it in the fridge.
- Assembly: You can roll these up a few hours before cooking, but keep them covered in the fridge so the tortillas don’t dry out. Brush with butter right before cooking.

Description
These Sweet Keto Blueberry Cheesecake Roll-Ups are a decadent, low-carb dessert that satisfies your sweet tooth without the sugar crash. Featuring a warm, creamy cheesecake filling dotted with bursting fresh blueberries, all wrapped in a crispy, buttery tortilla shell, they taste like a fried cheesecake chimichanga but are baked to perfection in the air fryer. With a dusting of powdered sweetener and a gooey center, these roll-ups are the perfect quick treat for keto dieters or anyone looking for a lighter indulgence.
Ingredients
The Cheesecake Filling
- 6 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute (powdered erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup fresh blueberries
The Wraps & Topping
- 6 zero-carb or low-carb small tortillas (keto-friendly)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- Additional Swerve Confectioner’s, for dusting
Instructions
Prep
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Grease the air fryer basket or rack lightly.
Make Filling
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and 3 tablespoons of Swerve.
Blend
Mix until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and well-combined (no lumps).
Fill
Lay out the tortillas. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla.
Top
Distribute the fresh blueberries evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Roll
Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling.
Place
Place them seam-side down into the air fryer basket (this prevents them from unrolling). Ensure they are in a single layer.
Brush
Brush the tops and sides of the tortillas generously with the melted butter.
Cook
Air fry for 8–10 minutes. Check: Cook until the roll-ups are golden brown and crispy on the outside. (Check at the 6-minute mark; if browning too fast, lower heat to 350°F).
Serve
Remove carefully (filling will be hot!). Dust with additional powdered Swerve sweetener and serve warm.
Notes
Don’t Overfill: Resist the urge to stuff them! If you put too much filling inside, it will ooze out into the air fryer basket during cooking. A thin, even layer down the center is best.
Seam-Side Down: Placing the rolls seam-side down is crucial. The weight of the roll combined with the heat seals the tortilla shut, eliminating the need for toothpicks.
Oven Method: No air fryer? No problem. Place the rolls on a baking sheet and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes until golden.
Berry Tip: Fresh blueberries are preferred. Frozen berries release significantly more liquid as they cook, which can make the bottom of the tortilla soggy. If using frozen, thaw and drain them well first.
