This Carnivore Pecan Cream Pie is a decadent yet simple dessert tailored for those following a carnivore diet but craving a rich and creamy treat. It’s crafted without traditional sweeteners or carbs, focusing on carnivore-approved ingredients while maintaining that delicious pecan pie flavor.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup cream cheese
- 1/2 cup pecans (crushed)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and butter over medium heat until they begin to simmer. Stir frequently to avoid scorching.
- Thicken with Egg Yolks: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks. Slowly temper them by adding a small amount of the hot cream mixture while whisking continuously. Gradually incorporate the egg yolks into the saucepan, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens (around 3–5 minutes).
- Add Cream Cheese: Stir in the cream cheese and whisk until fully incorporated, ensuring a smooth consistency.
- Flavor with Pecans and Vanilla: Remove from heat and mix in the crushed pecans, vanilla extract (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir well to distribute the pecans evenly.
- Chill: Pour the mixture into a pie dish or individual serving dishes. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the pie to set.
- Serve: Garnish with a few extra pecans on top for a decorative finish. Serve chilled and enjoy!
