Carnivore Cheesecake Bites 🧀🥩

Description

Rich, creamy, and indulgent, these mini cheesecakes are perfect for carnivore dieters or anyone looking for a high-fat, low-carb dessert. Made entirely with animal-based ingredients, they’re smooth, slightly tangy, and satisfy your dessert cravings without sugar or flour.

Ingredients (makes 12 bites)

  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (120 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp butter, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, can skip for strict carnivore)
  • Pinch of salt

Optional carnivore toppings:

  • Small dollop of whipped cream (unsweetened, dairy-based)
  • Sprinkle of grated cheese
  • Crumbled bacon for savory twist

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    Preheat to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or line with silicone liners.
  2. Blend the batter:
    In a bowl, mix cream cheese, melted butter, eggs, heavy cream, salt, and optional vanilla. Blend until smooth and creamy. A hand mixer works best for a silky texture.
  3. Pour into cups:
    Divide the batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups.
  4. Bake:
    Bake 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are slightly golden and the centers are mostly set. They may wobble slightly — that’s okay.
  5. Cool & chill:
    Let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate at least 2 hours for best texture.
  6. Serve:
    Remove from cups and serve as is, or add optional toppings.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve cold straight from the fridge for creamy texture.
  • Add a small slice of bacon on top for a savory-sweet carnivore twist.
  • Pair with coffee or tea for a dessert-like breakfast.

Variations

  1. Extra creamy: Add more heavy cream (up to ¾ cup) for richer bites.
  2. Savory cheesebites: Add finely chopped cooked bacon or shredded cooked chicken into the batter.
  3. Cheese-forward: Use a mix of cream cheese and mascarpone for an ultra-creamy texture.
  4. Mini tartlet version: Bake in small ramekins for a fancier presentation.

Related Questions

  • Q: Can I freeze these?
    A: Yes! Freeze in a single layer for 1–2 months. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
  • Q: Can I make them without eggs?
    A: Eggs give structure. Without them, the bites may be too soft. Use 1 egg + extra heavy cream for softer texture if preferred.
  • Q: Is this keto-friendly?
    A: Absolutely — zero carbs if no plant-based sweeteners are added.
