Recipe Ingredients

For the Cookies

• 1 1/3 cups Almond Flour
• 1/4 cup Coconut Flour
• 1/3 cup Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener
• 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
• 1 Large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon Fine Sea Salt

For the Swirl

• 3 oz Cream Cheese, Softened
• 2 tablespoons Powdered Monk Fruit Sweetener
• 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 1/4 cup Finely Chopped Blackberries

How To Make

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 325°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Beat the butter and powdered monk fruit sweetener until creamy, then mix in the egg and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Stir in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and sea salt until a scoopable dough forms.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered monk fruit sweetener, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 5

Fold the chopped blackberries gently into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 6

Scoop the cookie dough into 12 mounds and make a shallow well in each one.

Step 7

Spoon a small amount of blackberry cream cheese into each well.

Step 8

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, then cool completely so the cheesecake centers set.

Tips

Use Room Temperature Ingredients

I recommend pulling your butter, cream cheese, and egg out of the fridge about an hour before you start baking.

If these ingredients are too cold, your cookie dough and cheesecake filling will end up lumpy instead of smooth.

Warm ingredients blend together much more easily, which helps you get a creamy texture for the swirl.

Measure the Coconut Flour Carefully

Coconut flour absorbs a lot of liquid, so even a tiny bit extra can make your cookie dough dry and crumbly.

I’ve found that the best method is to fluff the flour with a fork first, scoop it into the measuring cup, and level it off with a flat knife.

Avoid scooping directly from the bag with your measuring cup, as this packs the flour down and gives you too much.

Dry Your Blackberries Thoroughly

After washing your fresh blackberries, make sure you pat them completely dry with a paper towel before chopping them.

Any extra water left on the berries can leak into your cream cheese mixture and make it too runny to hold its shape.

You can even let the chopped berries sit on a paper towel for a few minutes to catch any extra juice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen blackberries instead of fresh ones for the cream cheese swirl?

Yes, you can use frozen blackberries, but it is important to thaw them completely and pat them dry with a paper towel first. If you do not dry them, the extra moisture can make your cheesecake filling too runny and prevent it from setting correctly.

Using fresh berries is still the best option for texture, but thawed berries work well if you handle them gently so they do not bleed too much color into the cream cheese.
