Do you love crumbles, crisps, and cobblers? I do! I made a low carb rhubarb crumble a few years ago and a low carb faux apple crumble last year, so I thought I'd try something a little different! 

With this recipe I've used blueberries as the fruit, a similar topping to my other crumbles, but added some cream cheese. It adds a fantastic contrast in both flavor and texture to the other ingredients. And the great thing about these kind of desserts - other than they taste great - is that you don't have to spend hours making them look perfect - if they look rustic then that's totally OK!

And as for the fruit, do you want to know about the carbs in blueberries? One cup of fresh blueberries contains 17.8g net carbs - or more usefully - approximately 50 berries (2.3 oz) is 8g net carbs. And they are packed with antioxidants, phytoflavinoids, potassium and vitamin C!

How to Make a Low Carb Blueberry Cream Cheese Crumble

Layer some fresh blueberries in a baking dish (I used this Le Creuset one which I love!).

Cut a block of cream cheese into slices then dot it over the blueberries - it doesn't have to be perfect or cover all the fruit - just give pockets of wonderful creaminess!

In a bowl, mix together almond flour, flaxseed meal, low carb sweetener (I used Lakanto which is highly recommended), and melted butter. 

Dot the flour mixture all over the cream cheese and blueberries - again it doesn't have to be perfect. Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes or until the berries are bursting and bubbling up through the layers.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving - those blueberries contain a LOT of heat!

This recipe contains 7g net carbs per serving (a sixth of the whole crumble). So it's a little high for those of you on a keto diet. However, I reckon if you halve the blueberries and cream cheese it would still be delicious - and lower in carbohydrates!
