Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
   • Cut the brick of cream cheese into small, bite-sized pieces.
   • Roll each piece in confectioners’ monk fruit sweetener until coated.
   • Place the coated pieces on a tray and freeze until solid.
2. Make the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour and xanthan gum.
   • Cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
   • If using, add the optional sweetener and vanilla extract.
   • Beat the eggs and mix them into the flour mixture. Use your hands to knead the dough until it forms a smooth, pliable texture.
   • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to firm up.
3. Assemble the Cinnamon Sticks:
   • Once the dough has chilled and the cream cheese is frozen, place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper.
   • Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
   • Cut the dough into rectangles large enough to wrap around the cream cheese pieces.
   • Place a piece of frozen cream cheese in the center of each dough rectangle and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges.
4. Cook the Cinnamon Sticks:
   • Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
   • Place a metal stand in the air fryer basket and line it with parchment paper.
   • Arrange the wrapped cream cheese pieces on the stand, leaving space between each one. You can fit about 4 at a time.
   • Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
5. Finish:
   • Roll the warm cinnamon sticks in a mixture of monk fruit sweetener and ground cinnamon.
   • Enjoy the contrast of the warm, crispy exterior with the cool, creamy interior!
