- 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar-free sweetener
Cream Cheese Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cold milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups sugar-free whipped topping, thawed
Blueberry Topping
- 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar-free sweetener
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons cold water
Optional Toppings
- Sugar-free whipped topping
- Fresh blueberries
- Chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Make the crust by combining the almond flour, chopped pecans, softened butter, and granulated sugar-free sweetener in a bowl.
- Press the crust mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the blueberry topping. Add the blueberries, 1/4 cup water, granulated sugar-free sweetener, and lemon juice to a saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften and release their juices.
- In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture into the blueberries. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring, until the mixture thickens.
- Remove the blueberry topping from the heat and let it cool completely. It will continue to thicken as it cools.
- To make the filling, beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar-free sweetener, vanilla extract, and cold milk. Beat until smooth, well combined, and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the sugar-free whipped topping until the filling is light and smooth. Avoid overmixing.
- Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the completely cooled crust.
- Spoon the completely cooled blueberry topping evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, until firm and set.
- Before serving, garnish with sugar-free whipped topping, fresh blueberries, and chopped pecans if desired.
- Cut into squares and serve chilled.
Notes
- Cool the crust completely before adding the cream cheese filling to prevent the filling from becoming soft.
- Allow the blueberry topping to cool completely before spreading it over the filling.
- Use cold milk for the cream cheese layer to help maintain a firm texture.
- Chill for at least 4 hours; overnight chilling produces the cleanest slices.
- Fold the whipped topping gently into the cream cheese mixture to keep the filling light and airy.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- To freeze, freeze the dessert without the final toppings for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
- For variations, substitute walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds for the pecans, or replace some of the blueberries with raspberries, blackberries, or strawberries.
- Add 1 teaspoon lemon zest to the cream cheese filling for extra brightness.
- A sugar-free graham cracker crust can be used instead of the pecan-almond crust, although the texture will be different.
- Nutrition is approximate and can vary depending on the brands and types of sugar-free sweeteners, cream cheese, whipped topping, milk, and other ingredients used.
