Keto Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Strawberry Filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with erythritol and lemon juice. If using, mix in cornstarch or xanthan gum to help thicken the filling. Transfer the strawberry mixture to the bottom of a greased baking dish.
3. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered erythritol until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract and the egg, mixing well until fully combined. Spread this mixture evenly over the strawberry filling.
4. Prepare Crumbly Topping: In another bowl, combine almond flour, granulated erythritol, melted butter, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix until you get a crumbly texture. Sprinkle this topping evenly over the cream cheese layer.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the cobbler to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. Top with whipped cream or a scoop of low-carb ice cream if desired.

Storage Methods

• Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven before serving.
• Freezing: Freeze the cooled cobbler in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat as needed.

Variations

1. Berry Blend: Use a mix of berries like blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries for a different flavor profile.
2. Coconut Topping: Substitute some of the almond flour with shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
3. Nut-Free Version: Replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour for a nut-free option.
4. Spiced Cobbler: Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the strawberry filling or topping for added warmth and depth of flavor.

Benefits of Ingredients

• Cream Cheese: Provides fats and protein, and is a good source of calcium and vitamin A. It adds a rich, creamy texture to the cobbler.
• Almond Flour: Low in carbs and high in healthy fats and fiber, almond flour is a great alternative to traditional flour in keto baking.
• Erythritol: A low-carb sweetener that doesn’t affect blood sugar levels, erythritol helps keep the dessert keto-friendly while providing sweetness.
