Description

Carnivore Cheesecake is a rich, creamy dessert perfectly suited for low-carb, keto, and carnivore diets. Made with only nutrient-dense animal-based ingredients like full-fat cream cheese, eggs, and butter, this cheesecake delivers indulgence without sugar, grains, or carbs. It’s simple to prepare and makes a guilt-free, satisfying treat for anyone following a clean-eating lifestyle.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 16 oz (450g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
  • Pinch of salt

Optional Sweeteners (for non-strict carnivore or keto versions)

  • 1–2 tbsp allulose, stevia, or monk fruit sweetener

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Prepare a loaf pan or a small baking dish by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it with butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy using a whisk or hand mixer. This step is essential for a smooth texture.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt to the cream cheese. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is creamy.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing out the top evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35–40 minutes. The cheesecake is done when the center is set but still slightly jiggly and the edges are lightly golden.
  6. Cool: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. This cooling process helps prevent cracks and firms up the texture.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to fully set and develop its flavors.
  8. Serve: Slice the chilled cheesecake and serve. For a firmer texture, you can freeze the cheesecake before serving. Optionally, top with whipped cream or a dusting of vanilla powder for added flavor while keeping it keto-friendly.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cream cheese to ensure a rich and smooth texture.
  • Do not overbake; remove the cheesecake once the center is set to avoid dryness.
  • Cool the cheesecake slowly at room temperature before refrigerating to prevent cracking.
  • Chilling before slicing improves flavor and structure.
  • Store the cheesecake in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze individual slices for up to 1 month.
  • For a keto-friendly serving, consider topping with whipped cream or vanilla powder.
