A “Carnivore Cheesecake” sounds intriguing! It could refer to a cheesecake made with flavors and ingredients that are aligned with a carnivorous (meat-focused) diet. This might be a savory variation of a cheesecake, using ingredients like bacon, sausages, or other meats instead of traditional sweet ingredients like fruit or chocolate.
If you’re looking for a recipe idea, here’s one that combines the creamy texture of cheesecake with savory, meat-forward ingredients:
Savory Carnivore Cheesecake Recipe
Crust:
- 1 ½ cups of crushed pork rinds (for a low-carb, carnivore-friendly base)
- 4 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
Filling:
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cooked ground beef or sausage (bacon bits could be used too)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream or heavy cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs like chives or parsley (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- For the crust: In a food processor, pulse the pork rinds into fine crumbs. Add melted butter and Parmesan (if using), and mix until combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a springform pan or a pie dish.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with cooked ground meat. Add eggs, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper, and blend until smooth.
- Pour the filling over the crust and smooth out the top.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set and slightly golden on top.
- Let it cool and refrigerate for a few hours before serving.
