- Using an electric mixer or small blender, mix the cream cheese, egg yolk, Swerve confectioners sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the crust.
- Spread the prepared low carb blueberry sauce over the cheesecake mixture.
For the Coconut Crumble Topping:
- Combine the butter, almond flour, unsweetened coconut flakes, and Swerve sweetener in a small blender or food processor. Pulse until it resembles a crumb like mixture.
