Keto Lemon Ricotta Fruit Pizza Recipe

Print Recipe

Bright, fresh keto dessert with an almond flour cookie crust, creamy lemon ricotta topping, and juicy berries. Slices clean, looks pretty, and tastes like a light cheesecake on a pizza base.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups almond flour (fine)

  • 2 tbsp coconut flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp fine salt

  • 1/3 cup powdered allulose or erythritol

  • 1 large egg, room temp

  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • Zest of 1 lemon

Topping

  • 1 cup whole milk ricotta, well stirred

  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 1/3 cup powdered allulose or erythritol

  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

  • Zest of 1 lemon

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2–3 tbsp heavy cream (as needed)

  • Pinch salt

Fruit & Glaze

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups mixed berries (strawberries sliced, plus blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)

  • 1/2 cup cold water

  • 1 tbsp powdered sweetener

  • 1/2 tsp unflavored gelatin or 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • Optional: mint leaves, extra lemon zest

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10–12 inch pizza pan with parchment and lightly grease the parchment.

  • In a bowl mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and powdered sweetener.

  • In another bowl whisk egg, melted butter, vanilla, and lemon zest. Stir wet into dry to form a soft dough.

  • Press dough on the pan between two sheets of parchment into a 10–11 inch round, just under 1/4 inch thick. Peel top parchment. Dock the dough with a fork.

  • Bake 12–15 minutes until set and lightly golden at the edges. Cool fully on a rack.

  • Beat ricotta and cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetener, lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Beat till creamy. If too thick, mix in heavy cream 1 tbsp at a time for easy spreading.

  • Spread topping over the cooled crust, leaving a small border. Chill 15 minutes.

  • Pat berries dry. Arrange over the topping in rings or rows, don’t pile too high so slices stay neat.

  • Gelatin glaze: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small saucepan, rest 3 min. Warm gently to dissolve. Off heat stir in sweetener and lemon juice. Cool 5 min, then lightly brush over fruit.
    Xanthan glaze: Whisk sweetener with xanthan, then slowly whisk in water and lemon juice until it thickens. Spoon a thin layer over fruit.

  • Chill 20–30 minutes to set. Slice into 12 wedges with a sharp knife, wiping the blade between cuts.

Notes

  • Use powdered sweetener for smooth texture.

  • If ricotta is wet, drain it 10–15 min in a fine sieve.

  • Crust can be baked a day ahead; wrap tight once cool.

  • Keep fruit to berries for fewer carbs. Thin slices make it look full without adding much sugar.

  • Topping too loose? Chill 15–20 min or beat in 1 tbsp softened cream cheese.

  • Dairy-free: use dairy-free cream cheese and plant “ricotta”; swap butter for refined coconut oil and add a tiny extra pinch of salt.

  • Egg-free crust: 1 tbsp ground flax + 2 1/2 tbsp water, rest 10 min.

  • Best eaten the day you make it; leftovers keep 24 hours in the fridge.
