Low-Carb Blueberry Cream Cheese

Ingredients:

For the Blueberry Compote:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cream Cheese Mixture:

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Blueberry Compote:
    • In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, powdered erythritol, and lemon juice.
    • Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries start to release their juices and the mixture begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
    • Once the compote has thickened slightly, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
    • Let the blueberry compote cool completely before using.
  2. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture:
    • In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the powdered erythritol and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
    • Slowly add the heavy cream while continuing to beat the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Combine the Blueberry Compote and Cream Cheese Mixture:
    • Once the blueberry compote has cooled, gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. You can fully incorporate the compote for a uniform color or leave it slightly swirled for a more marbled effect.
  4. Serve:
    • Transfer the low-carb blueberry cream cheese to a serving dish.
    • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Spread: Enjoy this blueberry cream cheese as a spread on keto-friendly bread, bagels, or crackers.
  • Dip: Use it as a dip for fresh vegetables or low-carb fruits like strawberries or raspberries.
  • Dessert Topping: Use it as a topping for keto pancakes, waffles, or cheesecake.

Tips:

  • Storage: Store any leftover blueberry cream cheese in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Sweetener: Adjust the sweetness to your taste. If you prefer a sweeter cream cheese, add a bit more powdered erythritol.
  • Texture: For a smoother texture, blend the blueberry compote before folding it into the cream cheese mixture.
