- Cut the cream cheese into thin slices, and layer evenly over the blueberries.

My husband is also on a Keto plan. Does your sister have the net carb count for this?
Rebecca McManus says
If my calculations are correct there is a total of 108 carbs in the whole cobbler not including whatever sweetener you are adding to it. I guessed it's about 12 servings so about 9 grams of carbs again not including sweetener.
Mommy Tries Keto says
This looks so yummy!!! Definitely saving. Now to find a good chocolate chip cookie recipe!
Gypsy Momma says
I can only imagine this is also yummy with mixed berries or just strawberries. Has anyone tried it?
Sharon says
Delicious with raspberry and blackberry mix.
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I really need to try that next time! I loves raspberries.
ramonaruby says
Gypsy Momma that DOES sound good! I haven't yet, but I would love to try it with mixed berries.
Pat Balanquit says
i tried this with strawberries because i couldnt find blueberries, this is really good but i think the cream cheese should be creamed together with the sweetener instead of just sprinkling the sweetener on top of the berries 🙂
ramonaruby says
@Pat great tip! I think I'll try that with the cream cheese next time. I will also give strawberries a try sometime!
Holly Richard says
do you have to use the coconut flour?
ramonaruby says
@Holly, the coconut flour adds to the flavor (as it complements the other coconut ingredients), but you can always use more almond flour instead.
Vicky King says
Can you use fresh blueberries?
Sarah Johns says
I loved having low carb desserts at my friend’s birthday party, so I am going to get the recipes from her mom very soon.
Jenny Cruz says
Thank you so much for this recipe. I actually used 2 1/2 cups fresh blackberries from my garden and added 1 1/2 cups of fresh blueberries. I did have to cook it about 10 minutes longer. Probably could have used more fruit, but YUM!!!! This is amazing! I am on the Keto diet, but my husband isn’t and he loved it too!
Ashlie Pennington says
Do you have to add the shredded coconut flakes? I’m not a fan of the texture.
Kate Bregovic says
Great post!
Kate Bregovic says
This dessert looks extremely delicious! I'll definitely try it in the nearest time! Thanks for sharing! My husband is on keto now, so he'll be grateful for a new recipe also 🙂 This diet is great, but please do consult your dietician and nutritionist before following this diet. I also advise you to read this article http://www.agsinger.com/hemorrhoids-on-keto-is-your-diet-the-cause/ in order to be awered of some delicate problem, which may be caused by keto.
Julie says
Made a few changes- I used 2 cups almond flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, and 1/4 cup crushed pecans for the crust. Bakes as recommed but broiled the top for a few mins. Raspberries for the filling. Good but next time I think I will skip the cream cheese all together. I feel like it wasn’t needed.
Devon says
I bought frozen blueberries at Dollar tree. Two bags =4 cups. Added extra Splenda dusting
Over cream cheese layer and 1/2 cup coconut instead of 1/4. For dessert tonight!
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
How did it turn out?
Rebecca says
So sorry to tell you this, but I tried this for a Wednesday night church meal, but it was a serious flop. No one liked it. The cream cheese didn’t melt into the blueberries. I thawed the blueberries like the recipe said, but it was still seriously dry. Not nearly enough moisture. And the sprinkling of erythritol on the top of the berries didn’t sweeten enough. Hope everyone else has a better result.
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I am so sorry to hear this didn’t work for you! I haven’t experienced those issues, so I am not sure what to advise. This continues to be one of the most popular recipes on my site, so perhaps it just wasn’t your group’s taste, or something in the instructions just didn’t work out when you tried it.
F says
Same thing happened with mine …I am not a fan of coconut flour it has disappointed me a lot as it tends to dry out the dishes I won’t be making this dish nor will I recommend it to anyone sad it was such a waste of ingredients
🙁
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I am so sorry to hear that you didn’t like it. We love it, and a lot of people have enjoyed it over the years since sharing it on the blog.
Tonya says
I didn’t like it either, too dry and crumbly
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Sorry to hear you didn’t like it! Out of curiosity, did you use fresh or frozen blueberries? And for the cream cheese, did you use regular or low-fat? I don’t have issues with dryness using frozen blueberries and regular cream cheese. As for crumbly, it is called a crumble, so the crumbly texture works for me.
Trish says
Mine was really dry. What did I do wrong?
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Sorry to hear! Did you use fresh or frozen blueberries? I use frozen and they always have a lot of moisture when cooking.
Cindy says
Could use a dry package of sugar free jello, lemon juice and a bit of water to loosen things a little, also help make the texture a bit more like sugar laden cobbler
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Great ideas! Thank you for sharing!
Catherine Lewis says
Would using all coconut flour be too overpowering? I have a friend with tree nut allergies. Thanks in advance for any tips!
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
If she loves coconut I think it would work! Also if it doesn’t need to be keto, cassava flour is nut-free and a delicious substitute (but I don’t think it’s keto).
Debbie says
Mine fell apart followed it right crumbly
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Sorry to hear! I am always able to scoop it out to serve OK, and it is a crumble (doesn’t stay together like a bar).
Debbie says
Wow!!! I am totally surprised by all the ones that’s don’t like it. I made it last week and it was gone in 2 days. I just made another one and it was successful also. Soooooo delicious. I used frozen berries and with he cream cheese,….superb. This time I use whipped cream cheese and it was delicious. Yes it does not come out like a square but I guess I wasn’t actually thinking it would. I’m definitely making it again🙂
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I’m so glad to hear that you liked it so much! Thank you for sharing.
MAUREEN PELLETIER says
Loved this. Skipped the salt and used salted butter. no sweetener. 1/4ed the recipe with 1 cup fresh blueberries. Was just enough to not binge and three Keto gals loved it.
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Great idea on making a smaller batch to avoid binging!
F says
What were the macros on this…?
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I am sorry, but I do not know.
Sharon says
Can you use coconut sugar or monk fruit for this recipe (blueberry crumble)THANK YOU
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I think this would go well with your favorite sweetener! That part of the recipe is more to taste preference.
Virginia Hogan says
How well does this do with being frozen? We lots of company coming and I am doing my baking ahead of time.
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I’ve never tried freezing it, so I am not sure.
Stacey Freeman says
This looks so yummy!
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Thank you! We love it.
Terri says
Looks so delicious!!
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
Thank you! It’s a favorite around here.
Gina says
Made it today and it was very good. You really don’t need to eat a lot. It is just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth. I followed the recipe as it was but used erythritol sugar instead.
Do you know how many calories and fat per serving there is? I saw above in another post net carbs is about 9 not including the sugar option.
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I don’t know the calorie and fat count, but I will try and look into it then update the post.
Anne says
I tried this recipe and it was fabulous! I made a few changes. I squeezed some lemon juice on the fresh berries and sprinkled Suerve granulated over it. And I omitted the coconut chips from the crumb mixture because I didn’t have it. I added a little more almond flour and sprinkled in a small amount of Suerve Brown sugar substitute in it. This turned out great! I made some fresh whipped cream to top it off. Thank you for this idea. 👍🏼💕😎
Ramona Cruz-Peters says
These modifications sound delicious! Thanks for sharing!
