Keto or Carnivore Cheesecake Recipe

One of my favorite desserts that I enjoy the most is Cheesecake.  I love the creamy custardy filling, the crust and savoring every single bite but...

For those of us who choose to eat a low carb diet you probably miss these types of desserts and it can be very difficult to manage those cravings for sweets.  But did you know that one of the low carb foods you can have is Cream Cheese?    You can still eat that cheesecake with just a few adjustments.    

This Cheesecake also has two versions.  If you are Keto and can eat Artificial Sweeteners and Almonds you will love this version.  If you are Carnivore and only eat Animal products...well I have a version for that too.

Some Tips for Keto/Carnivore Cheesecake:

💖You will need to soften your Cream Cheese.  I take the cheese out of the package and leave it out on the counter to soften.  It usually takes about half an hour or so.  If it isn't that soft after 30 minutes I place it in my stand mixer or you can use a hand mixer.  I will put the heavy cream in it and mix the two together until smooth.  Then add the rest of your ingredients as written.

💖One other item I put in my Cheesecake is Sugar-Free White Chocolate Chips.  This is optional but I wanted to let you know that if you do add them I suggest sprinkling them on top of the cake before you bake it.  I have found that when adding them in the batter the chips tend to sink to the bottom instead of suspending within the filling.

If you are anything like me you benefit from watching a Video on how to make things so I have a Video below that you can watch on how to make this Cheesecake.  

If you prefer to follow the written Recipe you can find in under the Video.  I hope you enjoy this Recipe.  Please leave your comments and let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.  

Enjoy!
