Ingredients
• FILLING
• 2 tablespoons / 28g unsalted butter, softened
• 2 packages (16-ounce / 454g each) frozen, no-sugar-added mixed berries
• 4 teaspoons granulated erythritol sweetener
• ¼ teaspoon xanthan gum
• CRUST
• 1 cup / 112g almond flour
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 dash salt
• 4 tablespoons / 57g unsalted butter, melted
• ¼ cup / 48g granulated erythritol sweetener
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• ¼ cup / 28g sliced almonds, toasted
• WHIPPED CREAM
• 1 cup / 240ml heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons confectioners’ erythritol sweetener
Instructions
1. Cook the Berries: Grease the inside of your medium slow cooker with softened butter. Add the frozen berries and granulated erythritol. Cover and cook on High for 2 hours. Stir in the xanthan gum to thicken the filling.
2. Prepare the Crust Batter: In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, nutmeg, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and sweetener, then whisk in the eggs and vanilla. Stir the dry into the wet mixture until just combined.
3. Assemble the Cobbler: Dollop the crust batter evenly over the hot berry filling in the slow cooker.
4. Cook the Cobbler: Cover and cook on High for 1 to 1½ hours, until the crust is firm and set. Sprinkle the toasted almonds over the top.
5. Rest Before Serving: Turn off the slow cooker and let the cobbler stand, covered, for 30 minutes to allow it to set up perfectly.
6. Whip the Cream & Serve: In a chilled bowl, use a handheld mixer to beat the heavy cream and confectioners’ erythritol until stiff peaks form. Spoon the warm cobbler into bowls and top with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Pro Tips
• To easily toast sliced almonds, spread them in a dry skillet over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden. Watch them closely as they burn quickly!
• Don’t skip the xanthan gum! This ingredient is crucial for thickening the berry juices into a luscious sauce. Without it, the filling can be watery.
• For a smoother crust batter, use eggs that are at room temperature. This helps them incorporate more easily with the melted butter and sweetener.
• Feel free to use a single type of berry if you prefer. Blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries all work wonderfully on their own in this recipe.
FAQ
Q: Can I use fresh berries instead of frozen for this cobbler
A: Yes, fresh mixed berries work wonderfully in this recipe. You may need to slightly reduce the initial 2-hour cooking time for the filling, as fresh berries will release their juices more quickly than frozen ones.
Q: Is the xanthan gum necessary in this keto cobbler recipe
A: Yes, do not skip the xanthan gum. It is a crucial ingredient that thickens the berry juices, creating a luscious, sauce-like filling. Without it, your cobbler filling will likely be too watery.
Q: Can I make this berry cobbler in the oven instead of a slow cooker
A: While this recipe is optimized for a slow cooker, you can adapt it for an oven. Bake the berry filling in an oven-safe dish at 350°F (175°C) until bubbly, then add the crust and bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden and set.
Q: How do I store leftover keto berry cobbler
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. You can enjoy it cold or gently reheat individual portions in the microwave. It’s best to store the whipped cream separately.
