Keto Blackberry Cheese Danish Turnovers-
Keto Blackberry Cheese Danish Turnovers are low carb, gluten free, and grain free.
These Keto Blackberry Cheese Danish Turnovers are low carb, gluten free, grain free and surprisingly simple to make and they taste oh so good!
A crisp outer cheese shell with sweet cream cheese and blackberry filling and sprinkled with low carb powdered sweetener.
The best part of making these turnovers is that I did not need to make or fiddle with any tricky low carb pie crust or dough.
My kids and hubby loved these sweet and yummy morsels even though my son is not a fan of blackberries. He was surprised as he thought they would not be his cup of tea at all, but he loved the turnovers and especially the filling. Even though the berries I purchased, although lovely looking with brilliant colors, was somewhat sour and not ripe at all, the sweet, creamy filling made them taste yummy anyway. Next time if berries are not in season, I will buy frozen.
So, the next time I make these, I will try blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or a sugar-free version of “Nutella” in the filling. Recipe & printable recipe card is below the photos and toward the bottom of the post.

Does not work on parchment paper. Cheese sticks to paper.
Stacey
Linda, you need to let the cheese cool until it can be peeled and lifted from the paper.
Jennie Esterly
Linda, be sure you didn’t use WAX paper. That’s a mistake I’ve made before. The wax melts, and sticks to everything. What a mess. Parchment paper is perfect. 🙂

I don’t have mozzarella but I do have some Lacy Swiss I’m going to try. Hubby at the store getting us some blackberries. I’ll update it with a picture if that’s permissible. I’m so excited!
Stacey
Debbie, Thank you for trying the recipe & I think Swiss will work out (might have more holes, though). I don’t think my WordPress comment platform allows pictures, but you can post on FB or IG and tag me.
Teresa
Do they re-heat well? I bought the ingredients today, can’t wait to make them. I am making them with blueberries..
Stacey
Yes, Teresa, I did reheat some of them after keeping them in the fridge for a couple of days. They reheat pretty quickly only a few seconds (10 seconds) in the microwave or 1 to 2 minutes in the oven.
Kim
I made these tonight and was pleasantly surprised! Yum! I will make them again. They are super easy peasy to make too. 🙂
Stacey
Thank you so much, Kim, for trying the recipe and for your kind words 🙂
