Carnivore Cake Balls (No Sugar, No Plants)

🍰 Carnivore Cake Balls (No Sugar, No Plants)

🧈 Ingredients:

• 6 oz (170g) cooked beef or chicken (ground or shredded works best)

• 4 oz (113g) cream cheese, softened

• 2 tbsp butter or tallow, softened

• 1 egg (optional, for moisture—can be raw or cooked)

• 1–2 tbsp beef gelatin (for structure and “cake” texture)

• 1/4 tsp salt

• Optional: 1–2 tsp vanilla extract (technically not 100% carnivore, but often allowed in keto-carnivore)

🥣 Instructions:

1. Blend base: In a food processor, combine cooked meat, cream cheese, and butter/tallow. Blend until very smooth—like a thick paste or dough.

2. Add egg and gelatin: Pulse in the egg (if using) and sprinkle in the gelatin evenly. Let sit 2–3 minutes for the gelatin to hydrate slightly.

3. Chill dough: Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to firm it up.

4. Form balls: Roll into 1-inch balls using your hands or a cookie scoop.

5. Optional coating ideas:

   • Roll in powdered pork rinds for a crumbly coating.

   • Dip in whipped beef tallow or butter “frosting.”

   • Chill or freeze and dip in melted beef fat for a “chocolate shell” texture.

6. Chill to set: Refrigerate 1 hour or freeze 15 minutes before serving.
