Homemade Carnivore Chilled Dessert Recipe

This Homemade Carnivore Chilled Dessert is a decadent, creamy treat that fits perfectly into a carnivore or keto diet. Made with heavy cream, cream cheese, and a hint of vanilla, it’s indulgent without the carbs. It’s a simple, no-bake dessert that’s easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings while staying true to the carnivore principles.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup heavy cream (full-fat)
• 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
• 1/4 cup butter (softened)
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
• 1 tablespoon MCT oil or coconut oil (optional for extra fat)
• Sweetener (optional): Stevia, erythritol, or monk fruit to taste (adjust according to your preference)
• Pinch of salt (optional, enhances the flavor)

Instructions:

1. Whip the heavy cream:
In a large mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream and use a hand mixer or stand mixer to whip it on medium-high speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until it forms soft peaks. Be careful not to overwhip, as it can turn into butter.

2. Mix the cream cheese and butter:
In a separate bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and butter. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend them until smooth and creamy. If you find the mixture a bit thick, you can soften the cream cheese and butter further by microwaving them for 10-15 seconds, then mixing.

3. Add sweetener and vanilla (optional):
If you’d like to sweeten the dessert, add your preferred sweetener to taste. If using vanilla extract, add it at this stage. Stir everything together until it’s well combined and smooth. A pinch of salt can be added to bring out the flavors as well.

4. Combine the whipped cream with the cream cheese mixture:
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful to keep the whipped cream light and airy, as this will give the dessert its smooth, fluffy texture.

5. Add the MCT oil or coconut oil (optional):
For an extra fat boost and a little richness, you can stir in 1 tablespoon of MCT oil or coconut oil. This will make the dessert even more satisfying while adding healthy fats.

6. Chill the dessert:
Once the mixture is well combined, transfer it to serving bowls or a single large dish. Cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until it has set and chilled completely.

7. Serve and enjoy:
Once chilled, your Carnivore Chilled Dessert is ready to serve! You can enjoy it as-is, or for an extra touch, you can top it with a few shavings of dark chocolate (if allowed on your carnivore version) or even a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Tips:

• Customization: If you enjoy a more tangy flavor, you can add a tablespoon of lemon zest or lime zest to the mix (though this adds a small amount of carbs).
• Storage: Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
• Flavor variations: For a different flavor, you could also experiment with adding a few drops of almond extract or coconut extract for a new twist.

This simple, creamy, and rich Carnivore Chilled Dessert is a perfect indulgence for anyone craving something sweet but still keeping to a zero-carb or low-carb lifestyle. Enjoy!
