How to Make a Creamy Carnivore Custard Pie Dessert
To make this yummy Carnivore diet creamy custard dessert, you only need the following ingredients and instructions.
Ingredients:
- For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups ground pork rinds (or beef tallow, if preferred)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1 tbsp powdered collagen (optional for structure)
- For the custard filling:
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream (preferably grass-fed)
- ½ cup full-fat coconut milk (or another creamy animal product like cream cheese, if preferred)
- 1/4 cup raw honey (or a small amount of stevia, if preferred)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions:
1. Prepare the crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork rinds, melted butter, and powdered collagen (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish, forming an even crust. Ensure the crust is compact to hold its shape.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Once done, remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly while preparing the custard filling.
2. Make the custard filling:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, coconut milk, honey (or sweetener), and sea salt. If you’re using vanilla extract, add it here as well.
- Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Pour the custard mixture into the cooled pie crust.
3. Bake the pie:
- Place the pie back into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up fully.
4. Serve:
- Once the pie is chilled and set, slice and serve. You can garnish with a sprinkle of extra sea salt or a drizzle of extra melted butter for extra richness, if desired.
Tips:
- For an extra-creamy texture, you can blend the custard filling before pouring it into the crust to ensure a smoother consistency.
- If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the amount of honey or opt for a different carnivore-approved sweetener.
This dessert is a rich, creamy treat perfect for anyone following a carnivore diet but still craving a delicious pie!
