This keto blueberry jamboree is rich and satisfying, and easy to make. Pecan studded crust, creamy vanilla filling, and a sweet blueberry topping, it’s the ultimate low carb dessert for blueberry lovers! This post is sponsored by Oregon Blueberry Growers.
This creamy blueberry jamboree is a swoon-worthy keto dessert, and a perfect way to honor Oregon blueberry season. If you love those wonderful dark blue berries, then this is a must make.
Nothing quite compares to local Oregon blueberries. They are so fat and juicy, and bursting with incredible flavor, we go a little nuts at this time of year.
And with the end of blueberry season in sight, I am determined to get my hands on as many as possible, to freeze for the coming year. Then I can make delicious keto desserts like this one all year long.
Hats off to Oregon Blueberry Growers!
Picking Oregon Blueberries
Blueberry picking is one of my favorite summer pastimes with the kids.
We typically traipse out to a local U-Pick blueberry farm and I set them to picking as many as they possibly can. They’ve become much better at berry picking than they used to be, so we get quite a few pints to take home.
But they still manage to eat their weight in blueberries during the process! Isn’t that part of the joy of berry picking?
I’ve become quite an expert myself. I hold my pint container right under a cluster of ripe berries and almost tickle them, making them fall right off and into my basket.
And if you hit some of the blueberry farms on Sauvie Island, you can then go swimming and cool off afterwards. It’s the perfect Oregon summer day!
Check out this map of Oregon u-pick farms to find one near you. There are plenty to choose from!
What is blueberry jamboree?
You may well be wondering what a blueberry jamboree is. I don’t blame you, since “jamboree” typically refers to a big celebration with lots of music and dancing, not to a dessert.
But I guess you could argue that this delicious keto dessert is a big celebration of blueberries! This is my sugar free version of the dessert made famous by Magnolia Bakery in New York City.
Theirs features a flour-based crust studded with chopped pecans, a creamy no-bake cheesecake filling, and a rich blueberry topping.
I modified my keto version by using pecan flour for the crust, and thickening the topping with glucomannan rather than cornstarch. And making it with low carb sweetener, of course! But I did my best to adhere to the spirit of the recipe, and I can honestly say I think I nailed it.
How to make keto blueberry jamboree
- Make the blueberry sauce. You want to do this first as you have to let it sit and thicken for a bit before pouring it over the dessert.
- Make the pecan crust. This is the only part of the dessert that requires baking. You do want to let it cool as well, so that your filling doesn’t melt as you spread it over. You can swap out the pecan flour for almond flour, if you prefer.
- Beat the cream cheese with the sweetener. It’s very important to have the cream cheese properly softened, as it can clump otherwise. I find that 10 seconds in the microwave helps me get a super creamy, clump-free mixture.
- Whip the cream. Folding whipped cream into the cream cheese gives this dessert a light and airy texture, while still being ridiculously creamy.
- Add the topping. Make sure to spread to the edges so that every part of the jamboree gets covered with delicious blueberries.
- Refrigerate. I recommend allowing it to chill for at least 3 hours, so that you can cut nice clean slices.

- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sweetener until well combined. Beat in ¼ cup of the whipping cream to lighten.
- In another bowl, beat the remaining 1 cup whipping cream with the vanilla until it holds stiff peaks.
- Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Spread the filling evenly over the cooled crust.
- Pour the blueberry topping over the filling and spread to the edges. Refrigerate 3 hours to set before cutting into bars.

Absolutely divine. Whole family loved it and I especially love the lemon flavor with the blueberry topping. Very happy with the results.
Carmel Ballard says
I made this last weekend. Had blueberries that needed to be used and turned out just great! We almost fought over the last piece!! Maybe I’ll try peaches or strawberries the next time!!
Lisa Sebelle says
I made it this afternoon. I just had a piece and it’s so delicious.
I made my pecan flour in the food processor. I used allulose in the blueberry mixture. This is a real winner! I’ll be bringing to picnics.

I was worried this might be too rich, but it isn’t. Every recipe from Carolyn is yummy, but this one is, as my late Newfie mother used to say, “a best favourite”!
Carolyn says
Thank you!
ANITA says
I made this for company this past weekend. Everyone loved it, especially the crust. I will definitely be making this again. Next time I will try to incorporate the lemon juice from the tested lemons. I was afraid it might keep it from setting up properly but I want to give it a try. it’s definitely one of the best desserts I’ve made. Thanks for the recipe.
Nicole says
This sounds sooo good! I can’t wait to try it this coming week.
What are your thoughts on substituting other fruits for the topping? I am able to eat stone fruits, apples, cherries, and other berries, and I’m wondering if you would recommend any changes for the topping ingredients…
Carolyn says
Absolutely, have fun with it!
Fonda Carver says
Would chopped walnuts be ok to substitute for the pecans?
CindyAhGoGo says
I do a lot of low carb cooking and I can honestly say this is one of the best desserts I’ve ever made. And, it’s easy!
I used frozen berries, almond flour, a little extra vanilla and a 9 inch spring form pan coated with non stick baking spray. Refrigerated it a few hours, released the pan and it easily released from the pan bottom.
the nuts with the almond flour is crisp and delightful, but I bet it would be even better with pecan flour!
Lisa Gray says
This dessert is the best! Simply amazing!
Jennifer says
I made this today and it’s a 10/10.
Melissa Estep says
This truly is the best dessert. My husband who eats sugar could not believe it was keto! It’s a keeper!!
Dawn Sprouse says
I made this last week and it’s a hit! My husband and I have pretty much devoured it. Delicious.
Jill F. says
I made this last week, and it is delicious! I added a couple of teaspoons of fresh lemon juice to the filling as well. Next time, I will make it the day before as the filling softens the crust overnight and makes it even yummier!
Anne-Marie Mazur says
This was amazing. Followed directions to a T—only change is I put parchment paper that I’d sprayed with cooking spray to line the pan as I could not use a metal knife–nonstick pan. I was able to lift entire cheese cake out of the pan this way and then cut into proper serving sizes. I froze a good portion to take on vacation—froze uncovered and then covered with plastic wrap and in freezer container. Crust was especially fantastic— and so was the topping. I am the only diabetic, but my other family members loved it as well—my daughter really loved the lemon in the topping.
One of your best recipes. Thank you so much.
Pam says
I’m so glad to hear that you successfully froze it, as it makes too much for me to eat in a timely manner!
Dawn Tyszko says
Oh my! Why did I wait so long to try this recipe? I did it today and oh my gosh is it delicious. An added treat with those pecans in the crust. An absolute winner!
Marcy says
I made this today for some non-keto friends. They loved it! Total win. Plus, I loved it too! The pecan/lemon/blueberry flavor, the richness of the filling and the crunchy pecan of the crust – it was amazing.
Lois Sollenberger says
Yum Made this today for a gathering of friends!
