This carnivore cheesecake is a luxurious, guilt-free treat for those embracing a meat-based or ketogenic diet. It strikes the perfect balance between rich creaminess and subtle sweetness while staying true to the carnivore ethos.
Ingredients:
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for purists)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup grass-fed butter (softened)
- 1/4 cup powdered sweetener (like erythritol or stevia)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
- Mix in the sour cream, softened butter, and sweetener (if using).
- Pour the mixture into a greased 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for about 45-50 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Let the cheesecake cool at room temperature for an hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best texture.
