Carnivore Crème Brûlée Cheesecake Recipe
Ingredients:
- Cream Cheese – 2 packages (16 oz total)
- Heavy Cream – 1 cup
- Eggs – 4 large (for a custard base)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Base
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a springform pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper at the bottom. This will help you remove the cheesecake easily once it’s done.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Once it’s soft, whisk or beat it with a hand mixer until it’s smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
Add the heavy cream to the cream cheese and mix until fully incorporated. The heavy cream will give the cheesecake its creamy texture and smoothness. Next, add in the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition. This will help the eggs blend smoothly into the mixture, creating a custard-like consistency. The eggs also add richness, making the dessert feel luxurious.
Step 3: Bake the Cheesecake
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared springform pan. Place the pan into the oven and bake for about 40–45 minutes. You’ll want the cheesecake to set around the edges but remain slightly jiggly in the center. This indicates that it’s perfectly cooked.
Step 4: Crème Brûlée Topping
Once the cheesecake is baked and slightly cooled, the crème brûlée effect comes in! To make the crunchy caramelized top, refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight. When you’re ready to serve, sprinkle a thin, even layer of sweetener or a carnivore-friendly alternative (such as erythritol or monk fruit) on top of the cheesecake. Use a kitchen torch to caramelize the sweetener until it turns golden brown and crunchy. If you don’t have a torch, you can also place the cheesecake under a broiler for a minute or two, keeping a close eye on it to avoid burning.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the topping is crispy and golden, slice and serve your Carnivore Crème Brûlée Cheesecake. The rich, creamy texture paired with the crisp caramelized sugar top makes it an indulgent treat that’s perfect for anyone following the carnivore diet or anyone looking for a low-carb, high-protein dessert!
