Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1/4 cup granular erythritol or your preferred carnivore-friendly sweetener optional, if omitting for strict carnivore, simply leave out
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional Crust
  • 1/2 cup almond flour or finely ground pork rinds
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter or ghee

Equipment

  • Small springform pan (about 6 inches in diameter)
  • Medium-sized mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer with a whisk attachment)
  • Spatula

Method
 

  1. If you're adding an optional crust, you can either grease a small springform pan (about 6 inches in diameter) or line it with parchment paper. For a crustless version, directly grease your chosen dish.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the almond flour or finely ground pork rinds with the melted butter or ghee. Mix until well combined and it resembles wet sand. Press this mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan to form the crust. Place the pan in the freezer while you prepare the filling.

  3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer (handheld or stand mixer with a whisk attachment), beat the cream cheese on medium speed until it is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps. This step is crucial for a silky texture.

  4. Add the granular erythritol (or your chosen sweetener) to the cream cheese. Continue beating until the sweetener is fully incorporated and the mixture is well combined and smooth. If you are using vanilla extract, add it now and mix until just combined.

  5. In a separate, clean bowl, pour in the cold heavy whipping cream. Using your electric mixer (ensure whisk attachment is clean), whip the cream on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. This means when you lift the whisk, the cream will hold its shape and stand up straight. Be careful not to over-whip, or you'll end up with butter.

  6. Gently add about one-third of the whipped cream to the cream cheese mixture. Use a spatula to gently fold it in until just combined. This lightens the cream cheese base. Then, add the remaining whipped cream and continue to fold until no white streaks remain. Be gentle to maintain the airy texture of the whipped cream.
  7. If you made an optional crust, remove the pan from the freezer. Pour the cheesecake filling into the pan over the crust. Smooth the top with your spatula. If you are making a crustless version, simply pour the filling into your greased baking dish and smooth the top.
  8. Cover the cheesecake loosely with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cheesecake is firm and set. The longer it chills, the better it will hold its shape.
