This Keto Strawberry Cream Cheese Cobbler isn’t just low in carbs—it’s packed with flavor and texture that will have everyone asking for seconds (yes, even the non-keto folks!).

Ingredients

This keto cobbler uses easy-to-find, low-carb staples to keep things simple and satisfying. Here’s what you’ll need:

For the Strawberry Layer:

  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

For the Cream Cheese Layer:

  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon powdered erythritol
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cobbler Topping:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup melted butter (unsalted)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg, beaten

Optional: A pinch of cinnamon for a warm flavor twist.

Instructions

This recipe comes together quickly with just a few simple steps. Let’s get baking!

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (around 8×8 inches) with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Make the strawberry layer:
    In a bowl, toss sliced strawberries with erythritol, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Spread evenly in the bottom of the baking dish.
  3. Whip the cream cheese layer:
    In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese, erythritol, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Drop dollops over the strawberries and gently swirl with a spoon or knife (don’t fully mix—those creamy pockets are delicious!).
  4. Prepare the cobbler topping:
    Combine almond flour, melted butter, erythritol, baking powder, salt, and the beaten egg in a bowl. Stir until a thick batter forms.
  5. Assemble:
    Spoon the topping evenly over the strawberry and cream cheese layers. It’s okay if it doesn’t completely cover the filling—it will spread a bit while baking.
  6. Bake:
    Place in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is golden and set. The filling should be bubbling slightly at the edges.
  7. Cool & Serve:
    Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, or let it chill for a firmer texture.

Tips and Variations

Want to make this cobbler your own? Here are some easy ways to switch it up and make it even more delicious:

  • Nut-free option: Swap almond flour for sunflower seed flour to keep it low-carb and nut-free.
  • Add crunch: Sprinkle a handful of chopped pecans or walnuts on top before baking for added texture.
  • Cinnamon swirl: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the topping batter for a warm, cozy flavor.
  • Extra creamy: Want it creamier? Double the cream cheese layer!

  • Reheating Tips: Warm it in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until heated through. Avoid overheating to maintain the creamy texture.
