Ingredients

Strawberry Base

2 ½ cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
¼ cup granulated erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Cream Cheese Layer

4 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Cobbler Topping

1 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons coconut flour
¼ cup granulated keto sweetener
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted butter
1 large egg
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy cream as needed

Instructions

Preheat the oven

Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or coconut oil.

Prepare the strawberry base

In a bowl, combine sliced strawberries, sweetener, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt. Toss gently to coat evenly. Transfer the strawberries to the prepared baking dish and spread them out in an even layer. A little juice at the bottom is fine—it will turn into a natural sauce while baking.

Make the cream cheese filling

In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sweetener and vanilla and continue beating until creamy. Drop spoonfuls over the strawberries. Do not mix; the cream cheese will form pockets during baking.

Create the topping

Whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter and egg. Add heavy cream a tablespoon at a time until the batter is thick but scoopable. Drop spoonfuls over the strawberries, leaving small gaps for steam to escape.

Bake

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the topping is golden and the filling bubbles around the edges. Allow to cool 10 to 15 minutes before serving so the layers settle.

Chef Notes

Coconut flour helps absorb moisture and keeps the topping from becoming soggy. Lemon zest brightens the flavor of strawberries. Let the cream cheese soften fully to avoid lumps, and taste the topping batter before baking to ensure sweetness.

Substitutions

Sweeteners can be swapped for allulose or a monk fruit blend. Strawberries can be replaced with blueberries, raspberries, or a keto-friendly berry mix. For dairy-free, use plant-based cream cheese and coconut cream instead of heavy cream. Butter can be replaced with coconut oil.

Flavor Variations

Cheesecake swirl: lightly drag a spoon through the cream cheese before adding the topping.
Almond crunch: sprinkle sliced almonds on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
Strawberry-lemon: add an extra teaspoon of lemon zest to the berries and topping for extra brightness.

Storage and Reheating

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Cool completely before freezing; it will last up to two months. Reheat individual servings in the microwave for 25–40 seconds or in the oven at 300°F (150°C) until warm.

FAQs

Is this recipe truly keto?

Yes. It uses almond and coconut flour instead of wheat, and keto sweeteners instead of sugar. Strawberries are low-carb in reasonable portions.

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes. Thaw and drain first. Add a teaspoon of coconut flour if the berries are very watery.

What if the topping is dense?

It may need more heavy cream. The batter should be thick but easy to scoop.

Can I prepare this ahead?

Yes. Assemble the berries and cream cheese, refrigerate, then add the topping right before baking.

Why is the cobbler a little runny after baking?

Let it rest 10–15 minutes to set. Keto desserts often firm up as they cool.
