Keto Sausage Cream Cheese Rolls

These easy Keto Sausage Pinwheels are packed with sausage and cream cheese! The perfect gluten-free, keto breakfast or appetizer!

These sausage cream cheese crescents are our new favorite! I tried this recipe several different ways, my original plan was sausage Hot Pockets, perfect for breakfast or lunch. Don’t worry, I have tons of keto hot pocket recipes coming your way, but these are absolutely perfect as pinwheels!

These Keto Sausage Rolls are perfect for breakfast, meal prep, an easy dinner, or even an appetizer! The keto dough is a spin on your basic fat head dough. I have experimented with lots of variations and I find this to be the most reliable. I use almond flour, flax seed meal, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese and NO eggs.

The crust reminds me a bit of pastry dough, it is crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It is also very pliable and easy to work with.

Ingredients for Sausage Pinwheels 

These keto sausage cream cheese pinwheels come together with few ingredients. Here’s what goes into this recipe: 

• Mozzarella cheese
• Cream cheese
• Almond flour
• Flax meal
• Breakfast sausage 

How to Make Keto Sausage Pinwheels 

1. Combine the cream cheese and mozzarella cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until it is completely melted.
2. Add in the almond flour and flax seed meal. I usually mix it with a spatula until it is pretty well incorporated, but then I use my hands to knead it just like you would traditional dough.
3. Roll or press your dough into a rectangle and spread your sausage and cream cheese mixture evenly over the dough.
4. Take the long edges of the dough and fold it over just a tiny bit, this helps to keep the filling inside your pinwheels on the end then starting with your short end, tightly roll them together.
5. Place your roll in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes to firm it up a bit.
6. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice them into thin rolls (less than the width of two fingers)
7. Then pop them in the oven!

What Type of Sausage Should I Use? 

Any keto-approved breakfast sausage will work! The Whole Foods brand, Canino’s, or Pederson’s Natural Farms will all work.

I have also used the following recipe to make my own — just mix and cook!

• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried sage (optional)
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp onion powder

Can I Freeze Sausage Pinwheels? 

Yes! I’ve frozen these sausage cream cheese pinwheels after baking and reheat them in the microwave in 20-second increments.

Tips for Making Sausage Cream Cheese Pinwheels 

• Take care not to slice the pinwheels too thick otherwise your dough will not get crisp all the way through.
• If you need to see step-by-step photos, this is the same method I used in my keto cinnamon roll recipe.
• I’ve only made this recipe using almond flour, so I’m not sure how using another flour alternative would affect the taste and texture of the pinwheels.

• Spread the sausage cream cheese mixture evenly on the dough.
• Starting at one end roll the dough as tightly as you can into a log.
