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.

This dessert is awesome!!! I have been eating Keto for 8 years and have tried lots of keto dessert recipes and this is hands down, my favourite!! Even my husband (not keto) loves it! Definitely my new go-to keto recipe. Thank you so much for creating it!!!
I made it yesterday. It’s so good, it’s probably illegal. Printed the recipe, because I am making it again, for sure.
I would give it more stars if I could. This is an elegant, luxurious and absolutely delicious dessert! I’m making it for the third time (Started panicking a bit when we had eaten the last piece) and I can’t wait to make it for my parents when I visit them this summer in Sweden!
Thank you for this GREAT recipe!
I’ve just made a version of this and cannot wait to try it later ! I added chopped walnuts to the base, used frozen mixed berries for the topping. needs must, so used what was in the pantry/freezer. my question is, can this be frozen please ?
Absolutely!
Absolutely delicious thank you
Will the crust get hard or stay soft when it comes out of the oven.
It firms up as it cools.
Hi. Can I make it with other berries instead of blueberries
Of course!
I usually cook recipes with the fewest steps and biggest payoff….even though this ranks as a lot of steps in my system, it’s soooooo worth it!
This has big payoff! 😉
This desert is sooooooo soooooooo soooooooo outrageously delicious!
The whole pan was gone the very same day. I wish I wasn’t such an honest dudette, so I could say that we are a family of 6.
But no. We are a family of 2.
The 2nd time around, I am very proud to say, that, I managed to keep a piece aside to freeze it.
And YES!! It does freeze beautifully.
(OMG! Can you hear dbl recipe??)
You are well on your way to become my hero, dear Carolyn.
Thank you for all the good work and great info.
Now.
If only you could figure out how to ketofy that liquid pizza recipe on YouTube, I think I will love you for ever and ever and ever…
This is the third time I have made this. All three times I used walnuts in the crust because I had a big bag from Costco. We just finished off the Coconut Poke Cake (which I have made three times too) and I asked my husband “What do you want the next dessert to be?” He said “Razmataz” I said, “What is that???” and he said the dessert I made last time with the blueberries on top. I said “Oh, you mean Jamboree” and he said yes. Hah!
Made this dessert for the first time and it was delicious!! My family loved it! Followed the recipe exactly, don’t change a thing!
I made this today. My husband’s favorite. So delicious.
Thank you for this delicious desert. The Blueberry Jamboree was so perfect in taste and textured. I’ve been on a keto diet for almost a year now. I’ve explore some recipes before and I’ve had experience an after taste in some of the recipes. But this, is the first that I could not taste any and the texture was smooth and the crust was excellent.
Thank you,
Elida
This is my favorite Keto dessert! I love to use Strawberries on top, too. I’ve served this to family & friends, several times. Everyone Loves this recipe!
Takes a bit of timebut well worth the effort. I love the pecan pie crust and use it for other pies. It was impossible to not taste it while making; especially the blueberry topping.
I need to make this in a 9×13 for a potluck. Doubling the recipe seems like too much. What do you recommend?
9×9 = 81. 9×13 = 117. 117 – 81 = 36. So I recommend 1.5x the regular recipe. 🙂
I’m very excited to make this because I love blueberries!
I am curious as to why you specified using a metal pan? Is it possible to use a glass one?
Thanks so much!!!
Metal and glass bake very differently. You can use a glass pan but you need to keep your eye on the crust so it doesn’t over-bake.
I had such a hard time making a choice of which of these beautiful berry recipes to make! This came our amazing and delicious! Thank you Carolyn.
can the heavy cream be left out ? and add more cream cheese?
It will be much thicker and not as light… I guess that’s up to you!
Love this recipe, it’s so easy to make! Can it be frozen?
Thank you for all your great recipes!
Michele
Yes, you can freeze it.
Hello I have a ready made pecan crust I need to use will that be ok instead of making the crust? Ty
Sure but it will probably be higher in carbs.
