Bloody Finger Sausage Rolls

🔪 Bloody Finger Sausage Rolls (Creepy & Keto-Friendly)

Halloween is the perfect time to play with your food—especially when it’s scary, silly, and keto-approved.
These Bloody Finger Keto Sausage Rolls are both gruesome-looking and delicious. Shaped like severed fingers, each one is wrapped in low-carb dough and “bleeds” with sugar-free ketchup or roasted red pepper sauce.

They're spooky enough for a Halloween spread and satisfying enough to keep you full all night—without the sugar spike.

🧛 Why You’ll Love These Keto Finger Sausages

🌭 Ingredients (Makes 8 finger rolls)

For the Dough:

  • 1½ cups almond flour

  • 1 tbsp coconut flour

  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella

  • 2 tbsp cream cheese

  • 1 egg

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • Pinch of salt

For the Fingers:

  • 8 cocktail sausages or mini uncured hot dogs (sugar-free)

  • 4 almonds (split lengthwise) or thin cheese slices (for fingernails)

  • ¼ cup sugar-free ketchup or roasted red pepper sauce

  • Optional: black pepper or smoked paprika (for “dirty” look)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Make the Dough (Fathead Style)

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together for 1 minute.
Stir until smooth, then mix in almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and egg.
Use hands or a spatula to knead into dough.

💡 Tip: If the dough becomes too stiff, microwave it again for 15 seconds to soften.

Step 2: Shape the Fingers

Divide the dough into 8 portions. Roll each into a short rectangle or finger shape.
Wrap around each sausage, leaving one tip of the sausage exposed as the “severed” end.

Use a knife or toothpick to score lines for the knuckles and creases to make it realistic.

Step 3: Add Fingernails

Use half an almond or a small triangle of cheese to create a fingernail at the tip of the dough.
Gently press it into place.

Step 4: Bake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the sausage fingers on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the dough is golden and cooked through.

Step 5: Add the Blood

Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Then drizzle the sugar-free ketchup or red pepper sauce at the base of each finger to simulate blood.

Optional: Sprinkle with a little smoked paprika or cracked pepper for an extra creepy effect.
