How to make this Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble (keto and gluten-free dessert recipe)
In addition to being delicious and low in carbs, one of the best parts about this keto blueberry crumble recipe is that is pretty easy to make!
I start by placing some partially-defrosted frozen blueberries in the bottom of a baking dish, then layering a dusting of Splenda over the top. Splenda is my preferred sweetener for low-carb and keto-friendly dessert recipes, but you can also sweeten it with liquid stevia instead.
I am pretty sure that the magic of this Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble lies in this layer of cream cheese…
A brick of cream cheese is cut into thin slices, then layered evenly over the blueberries.
To make the crumble, I mix melted butter, salt, almond flour, coconut flour, and shredded coconut together in a bowl until the dry ingredients are completely moistened (but with mixture still a little chunky).
The combination of almond flour and coconut make for a topping that toasts really nicely
I spoon the crumble over the top of the cream cheese layer. As an optional add-on, I like to sprinkle coconut chips on top for added texture.
I bake the keto blueberry crumble covered for 15 minutes, then remove the cover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until blueberries are bubbling and the top is golden brown.
It’s got that satisfying, sweet-but-lightly-savory taste due to the combo of blueberries and cream cheese!
This Keto Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble is so good that you’ll love it whether you are on a ketogenic diet or not!
