Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C).
- Separate the eggs into yolks and whites. Only the yolks are needed for this recipe. You can save the whites for another recipe if you wish.
- Mix the egg yolks with the mascarpone, and stir in the blueberries.
- Spoon the mixture into (6 oz., 180 ml) ramekins, or small, ovenproof dishes. Bake on the middle rack for 15 - 20 minutes, or until semi-firm, and lightly browned (See tip).
- Let cool slightly, before serving. This dish can also be prepared in advance and served cold.
Tips
Baking times will vary, depending upon the size of the baking dishes.
If you prefer your dessert a little sweeter, you can add xylitol or erythritol.
You could also add some vanilla, a pinch of salt, and/or lemon zest for more flavor.
Feel free to replace the blueberries with another low-carb berry such as strawberries, or raspberries.

Great! So glad you enjoyed it!
just satisfied a little dessert desire after dinner! I cooked them in silicone muffin cases as I had no ramekins handy & got six muffin size out of the recipe for two people, we will be doing these as a regular I can see them being a firm favourite in our house! Thanks guys!
So glad you love it! Just a heads up that we recommend avoiding honey, as it's pure sugar. Here's our sweetener guide for more info! https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/sweeteners
I'm sorry this didn't turn out as expected. You may wish to try a different brand of mascarpone cheese as it's the only ingredient that could lead to a watery or greasy result.
