Can I use frozen strawberries?

Yes. No need to thaw; toss them straight in. Add a little extra xanthan gum if you want a thicker filling.

Is xanthan gum required?

No — it helps thicken, especially for very juicy berries, but you can skip it if you prefer a looser filling.

Can I make this dairy-free?

Swap cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use coconut oil in place of butter. Texture shifts but you’ll still get a tasty cobbler.

Will this work with other sweeteners?

Yes — powdered erythritol or monk fruit works best for texture, but you can experiment with allulose (it browns better) or stevia blends.

Does it taste like traditional cobbler?

Many people say it’s surprisingly close — the cream cheese layer and berry brightness give a dessert feel that mimics classic cobbler without the carbs.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberry Base

2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries, sliced
2 tbsp powdered erythritol (or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener)
½ tsp lemon juice
¼ tsp vanilla extract
¼ tsp xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)

Cream Cheese Layer

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp powdered erythritol
¼ tsp vanilla extract

Biscuit Topping

1 cup almond flour
1 tbsp coconut flour
1 tbsp powdered erythritol
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¼ cup butter, melted
1 large egg
¼ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the dish
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.

Step 2: Make the berry layer
In a bowl, toss strawberries with erythritol, lemon juice, vanilla, and xanthan gum if using. Spread evenly in the prepared pan.

Step 3: Cream cheese mixture
Beat softened cream cheese with erythritol and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Drop spoonfuls over the berry layer.

Step 4: Biscuit topping
In a separate bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir in melted butter, egg, and vanilla until a soft dough forms.

Step 5: Assemble & bake
Spoon the dough in rustic mounds across the top of the cream cheese and strawberries. Don’t worry about covering everything—gaps let the fruit bubble through. Bake 25–30 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling at the edges.

Step 6: Rest & serve
Let the cobbler cool for about 10 minutes to set the layers before digging in. Serve warm or chilled, with whipped cream or keto ice cream if desired.

Notes

Either fresh or frozen berries work perfectly.
Add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts on top for extra crunch.
Allow the cobbler to cool before serving—this helps the layers firm up.
For a dairy-free version, swap the cream cheese with a non-dairy alternative and use coconut oil instead of butter.
