What Exactly is a Blackberry Coconut Bake?
To be honest, I don’t know. All I know is that I was trying to make a cobbler with coconut flour. But the first time I made it, the blackberry stuff bubbled up and coconut flour is so absorbent that it absorbed all the liquid from it.
So we had blackberries at the bottom, coconut flour dry on top–and in the middle, we had this lovely cake-like, pudding-like mix. I decided to just mix it all together when I tried it again.
I had no idea what to call this so–very unimaginatively–I called it a Blackberry Coconut Bake . Because you know. Blackberries. Coconut flour. Bake.
How Many Carbs Are In Blackberries?
You may be thinking to yourself “I thought fruit was high in carbs?” Well, most fruits are packed with a lot of natural sugars, making them less than ideal for a ketogenic diet.
However, berries (such as blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries) can be ok for a low carb lifestyle in moderation.
Blackberries have 7 net carbs per cup, so as long as you practice some self-control, they can easily still fit in your daily macros .
How To Make Blackberry Cake
You simply pour all of the ingredients into a bowl, mix them together, pour them into a pan and bake for 20 minutes. No need to mix ingredients separately or add the ingredients in any particular order. Who’s got time for that anyway?
- Grease a 7 x 2 inch cake pan
- Mix together berries with their liquid, coconut flour, egg, Truvia , baking powder, and xanthan gum.
- Pour into the greased pan and bake. Allow the pudding to cool and then serve hot.
- Top with whipped cream or keto ice cream .

How To Serve This Keto Cake
This Blackberry Coconut Bake can be served as is or you can amp up the deliciousness by topping it with some whipped cream or make my no-cook keto ice cream while it is baking.
It’s served best piping hot when it’s a pudding-like consistency you can scoop or straight from the fridge when it’s cold and can be cut into slices. Now quit reading this and get to baking!

These Air Fryer Fruit Hand Pies are a delicious and fun dessert idea. No need to wait until a holiday to enjoy all the flavors of pie. Instead, make these personal-sized pies any time you like, and make as many as you want!
What Are Hand Pies?
Hand Pies are compact pies that are single-serving portions that are self-contained. Think of them as a fried pie with your favorite filling (or fillings) that you don’t have to share.
What MakesAir Fryer Hand Pies So Great?
- Fast. While making the dough is a little time consuming, the cooking time for these hand pies is much shorter than cooking a full-sized pie in your oven.
- Customizable . Use whatever fillings your heart desires.
- Delicious . All of the flavors of a traditional pie – and you don’t even have to share!
- Easy . Just stuff your favorite filling inside the pie dough (or premade puff pastry) and air fry !
One of the main advantages of using an air fryer is that cook times are a lot shorter, and you don’t heat up your whole kitchen.
The air fryer also crisps the exterior of these hand pies in a delightful, flaky, crunchy way. I have to say, I think these taste better when cooked in the air fryer rather than in the oven.
You can also make small batches of hand pies at a time, and make them fast. So with this hand pie recipe, for example, you could make just two fried pies rather than making a huge big pie.
Automatic portion control. What’s not to love? You can stuff whatever your favorite fruit filling is into these easy fruit pies. I’ve included the recipes below.
While my personal favorite is the traditional fried apple pie, my son loves cherry pies, and my husband loves blueberry fried pies. With this recipe, I can make different ones for the family all in one go. #RuthlessEfficiency at work!

How Do You Make Hand Pies From Scratch?
SEE RECIPE CARD FOR FULL INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOW TO MAKE DOUGH.
Step 1: On a piece of 8 1/2 x 11-inch paper, trace around a 6-inch round baking pan. Cut out the circle (this will be the pattern for cutting out the pie crusts); set aside.
Step 2: Once dough is made, place half of the desired Fruit Filling on half of the pastry circle, leaving a ¼-inch border. Brush the bare edge with water. Fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling.
Step 3: Using a fork, press around the edge of the pastry to seal it. Poke holes on the tops. Repeat with remaining filling and pastry.
Step 4: In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water. Brush over the tops of the pies for that golden brown color.
Step 5 : Sprinkle the tops with the sugar.
Step 6: Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 35 minutes or until pies are golden brown. Then, Cool pies on a wire rack for 20 minutes before serving.

Equipment
- 6 inch round baking pan
- PHILLIPS AIR FRYER
Ingredients
For the Crust
- ▢ 1.5 cups ( 187.5 g ) All-Purpose Flour
- ▢ 1/2 teaspoon ( 0.5 teaspoon ) Kosher Salt
- ▢ 1/4 cup ( 51.25 g ) shortening , cup up
- ▢ 1/4 cup ( 56.75 g ) Butter , cut up
- ▢ 1/4-1/3 cup ( 62.5 g ) cold water
For the Fruit Filling (see options below)
- ▢ 1 large ( 1 large ) Eggs
- ▢ 1 tablespoon ( 1 tablespoon ) Water
- ▢ 1 teaspoon ( 1 teaspoon ) coarse sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F.
- On a piece of 8 1/2 x 11-inch paper, trace around a 6-inch round baking pan. Cut out the circle (this will be the pattern for cutting out the pie crusts); set aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in the shortening and butter until pieces are pea-size. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the cold water over part of the flour mixture. Toss with a fork. Move the moistened pastry to the side of the bowl. Repeat with remaining flour, using 1 tablespoon of the water at a time, until everything is moist. Gather the flour mixture into a ball and knead gently only as much time as it takes to come together in a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, slightly flatten the pastry, then roll from the center to the edge into a 13-inch circle. Place the pattern on the pastry near one edge. Using a small, sharp knife, cut out a 6-inch circle of pastry. Repeat to make two circles. Discard dough scraps.
- Place half of the desired Fruit Filling on half of the pastry circle, leaving a ¼-inch border. Brush the bare edge with water. Fold the empty half of the pastry over the filling. Using a fork, press around the edge of the pastry to seal it. Poke the top in a few places with a fork. Repeat with remaining filling and pastry.
- In a small bowl, beat together the egg and water. Brush over the tops of the pies and sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
- Place the pies in the air fryer basket and cook for 35 minutes or until pies are golden brown.
