This is my low carb adaptation of Pillsbury’s recipe for this lovely coffee cake. It works well for dessert also. To replace the biscuits, I adapted a low carb biscuit recipe. While I used Carbquik baking mix, you can substitute in Bakesquik or any other low carb biscuit recipe you have. I added the sugar substitute to make it a sweet biscuit.
Berry Cream Cheese Biscuit Bake
For the biscuits:
2 cups Low Carb Baking Mix
2 tablespoon Butter, softened or Butter-flavored Crisco
1 tablespoon Sugar Substitute
1 tablespoon Heavy Whipping Cream
1/2 cup Water
In a medium bowl, add the baking mix and sugar. Whisk together. Cut in the Butter or Crisco until it forms crumbles. Add whipping cream and water and stir until the dough comes together. If it isn’t all moistened and forming into a ball, add water a tablespoon at a time until it does. You want a firm batter. Form into 32 balls and set aside.
For the filling:
4 oz (from 8-oz package) Cream Cheese, softened
1/4 cup Powdered Sugar Substitute
1/2 cup fresh chopped Strawberries or Raspberries
1/2 cup fresh Blueberries
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 8-inch square glass baking dish with cooking spray. I prefer to use parchment paper on the bottom and spray it.
In medium microwavable bowl, microwave cream cheese about 20 seconds, stir in powdered sugar and microwave another 20 seconds. Stir until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup of each of the berries.
Stir dough dough balls into the cream cheese and berry mixture. Using a spoon, transfer the mixture to the baking dish and distribute as evenly as possible.
Bake 25 to 28 minutes. Mixture will bubble around edges and dough should be lightly browned.
Set on a cooling rack for about 10 minutes. Make your icing using 1/4 cup powdered sugar substitute, a splash of sugar-free Strawberry syrup, and 1 tablespoon of cream. Garnish with the rest of the berries, then use a spoon to drizzle icing over the coffee cake.
Makes 8 servings.
Serve warm or at room temperature. May be stored in the refrigerator or frozen.
