Low-Carb Cranberry Feta Pinwheels with Cream Cheese

Tangy feta, sweet-tart cranberries, and creamy cheese rolled into a low-carb, flavorful pinwheel. Great as an appetizer, snack, or party treat!


 Ingredients (makes ~12 pinwheels)

  • 1 sheet low-carb tortilla or flatbread (e.g., Joseph’s Lavash or Carb Balance)
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2–3 tbsp dried cranberries, finely chopped
  • 1–2 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped
  • Optional: pinch of black pepper or red pepper flakes

‍ Directions

  1. Prepare the filling:
    In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, crumbled feta, chopped cranberries, and herbs. Mix until smooth and evenly incorporated. Add a pinch of black pepper or red pepper flakes if desired.
  2. Spread the mixture:
    Lay the low-carb tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the entire tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Roll the tortilla:
    Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log, keeping the filling inside.
  4. Chill to firm up:
    Wrap the rolled log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to help it set and make slicing easier.
  5. Slice into pinwheels:
    Remove from the fridge, unwrap, and cut into ½–1 inch thick pinwheels. Arrange on a serving platter.
  6. Serve:
    Enjoy immediately as a snack or appetizer, or cover and store in the fridge for up to 2 days.

 Tips & Variations:

  • Lower points: Use light or whipped cream cheese.
  • Savory twist: Swap cranberries for finely roasted red peppers or sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Make ahead: Keep refrigerated until serving — perfect for entertaining.
  • Extra flavor: Sprinkle a few seeds (like sesame or pumpkin seeds) on top before rolling.
