Low-Carb | Sugar-Free | Keto-Friendly | Crustless | Animal-Based

📝 Ingredients:
-
16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup sour cream
-
1/4 cup heavy cream
-
2 tbsp butter, melted
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional — not strictly carnivore)
-
2–3 tbsp powdered sweetener (optional — use allulose or erythritol for keto-friendly option)
🔪 Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
-
Set oven to 325°F (163°C).
-
Lightly grease a 6-inch or 8-inch cake pan with butter or animal fat.
2. Mix the Batter:
-
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
-
Stir in sour cream, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla extract (if using).
-
If you’re using a sweetener, add it now and mix until fully combined.
💡 Tip: For an ultra-smooth texture, blend everything in a food processor or blender instead of hand mixing.
3. Bake:
-
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
-
Bake for 40–50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
-
Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool inside the oven for 30 minutes — this helps prevent cracking.
4. Chill & Serve:
-
Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, or ideally overnight for best flavor and texture.
-
Serve chilled. For added richness, top with whipped cream (made from just heavy cream).
✅ Tips:
-
Use a water bath (place your cake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water) to prevent browning and ensure even baking.
-
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze individual slices for long-term storage.
-
Skip the vanilla and sweetener to keep it strict carnivore.
-
To make whipped cream: Beat cold heavy cream with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. No sweetener needed unless desired.
