Ingredients
  

  • For the strawberry layer: 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
  • 1–2 teaspoons powdered keto sweetener (like erythritol or allulose), to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, brightens flavor)
  • For the creamy layer: 8 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream (or canned full-fat coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 2–3 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of fine sea salt
  • For the crunchy “granola” crumble: 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds or hemp hearts
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, melted
  • 1–2 tablespoons granular or brown-style keto sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional add-ins: Fresh mint, a few drops of almond extract, lemon zest, or sugar-free chocolate shavings.

Method
 

  1. Prep the strawberries. Toss the sliced strawberries with the powdered sweetener and lemon juice. Let them sit 5–10 minutes to release their juices.
  2. Make the crunchy crumble. In a skillet over medium heat, combine almond flour, chopped nuts, shredded coconut, chia or hemp, cinnamon, sweetener, and salt. Stir in the melted butter or coconut oil. Toast for 3–5 minutes, stirring often, until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and cool completely so it crisps.
  3. Whip the cream. In a cold bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Set aside.
  4. Blend the cream cheese base. In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sweetener, vanilla, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fluffy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and silky.
  5. Adjust sweetness. Taste the cream and strawberries. Add a touch more sweetener if needed. Keep it just sweet enough—this helps the strawberry flavor shine.
  6. Layer the jars. Spoon a few tablespoons of cream into the bottom of each jar, then add strawberries, then a sprinkle of crumble. Repeat layers until you reach the top, finishing with a little crumble and a few strawberry slices.
  7. Chill or serve. Serve right away for soft cream and crunchy top, or chill 30–60 minutes for a more set texture. Add final crumble just before serving to keep it crisp.
