Carnivore No Bake Cheesecake recipe
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups crushed pork rinds (the texture is similar to graham cracker crumbs)
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- Optional: 1 tsp cinnamon (if you want a slight flavor boost)
For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sour cream (optional, for a tangy flavor)
- ¼ cup heavy whipping cream (to help smooth the filling)
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1-2 tbsp powdered erythritol or stevia (optional, if you want sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor)
- A pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
For the crust:
- Prepare the crust: In a food processor or a zip-top bag, crush the pork rinds until they resemble fine crumbs.
- In a bowl, combine the crushed pork rinds, melted butter, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish, forming a crust. Use the back of a spoon to pack it in firmly.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill and firm up while you make the filling.
For the filling:
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sour cream, heavy whipping cream, and butter until smooth and well combined.
- Add the erythritol or stevia, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, and continue to beat until fully blended.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness if necessary.
- Spoon the cheesecake filling onto the prepared crust, smoothing it out evenly.
Chill the cheesecake:
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight until it firms up.
- Once ready, remove it from the fridge, and carefully remove it from the springform pan (if using).
Serving:
- Serve chilled. If you’d like, top with more whipped cream (optional, for extra richness) or sprinkle with some extra pork rind crumbs for texture.
