Blueberry Cream Cheese
Report
Blueberry cream cheese is a fruity, colourful and fun topping for bagels, toast and muffins. You can also use it as a fruit dip or cookie dip, turn it into an easy blueberry frosting for cupcakes and cakes or even transform it into a fluffy mousse.

Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen, 150g
- ½ cup cream cheese 120g
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice 8ml
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 4ml
Optional Add-in
- 1-2 tbsp powdered sweetener or honey/maple syrup
Instructions
- Put the blueberries and lemon juice in a small pot. Cook them on the stovetop over medium heat. Once the mixture starts to bubble and the blueberries soften, mash them with a potato masher or with a fork.
- Continue cooking over low heat until the blueberry liquid evaporates and the mixture turns into a jam. This takes around 7-10 minutes. Stir regularly towards the end so the sauce does not burn. Take off the heat and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Put the cream cheese and the vanilla extract into the food processor or in a large mixing bowl ***see notes. Add the blueberry jam on top and whip or blend the mixture until it is smooth and has a bright blue colour. Taste and decide if you need to add additional sweetness.
- Cool the blueberry cream cheese in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- 8g net carbs per serving. Makes 6 servings of 2 tablespoons each.
- This recipe makes 200 grams or 7 ounces of blueberry cream cheese.
- I did not add any sweetness to the recipe. However, if you prefer a sweet breakfast spread, add a sugar-free sweetener for a low-carb option or use honey or maple syrup.
- If you mix the cream cheese and blueberry sauce with a hand-held electric mixer, use the blueberry sauce while it is still warm. This softens the cream cheese making it easier to blend the mixture. You can even stir it together with a fork. This makes it chunky rather than smooth.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
