Keto Cinnamon Roll Christmas Tree Instructions

- Dump the dough onto a sheet of parchment paper and begin to knead the dough until the egg is fully mixed in. The dough will be really sticky until you knead it together. You can sprinkle a little bit of almond flour on the dough to roll it out and prevent sticking too.

- Melt the 1/8 stick of butter and spread it over the rolled out dough.
- Sprinkle cinnamon and Stevia sweetener on to the dough.
- Roll up the dough as seen in the photos.
- Use a piece of string to cut the dough into 15 different cinnamon rolls.
- Place a piece of parchment paper in the bottom or your pan to line it before baking.
- Place the rolls in a baking pan.
- Set the over to 350 degrees and bake them for about 10 minutes or until golden brown.

- Combine the heavy cream, cream cheese, and powdered sweetener into a bowl and mix it with a mixer on high speed until the ingredients are nice and smooth.
- Allow the cinnamon rolls to cool for about 5 or 10 minutes before applying the cream cheese frosting.
