Carnivore Custard Cold Cake

📝 Description

This Carnivore Custard Cold Cake is a rich, creamy, and indulgent dessert made entirely with animal-based ingredients. It features smooth custard layers with a slightly firm, cheesecake-like texture and a buttery base. Perfect for a zero-carb or strict carnivore diet, this cake is chilled instead of heavily baked, giving it a soft, melt-in-your-mouth finish.

🧾 Ingredients

For the Base:

  • 1 cup pork rind crumbs (finely crushed)

  • 3 tbsp melted butter

For the Custard Layer:

  • 2 cups heavy cream

  • 4 large eggs

  • 4 tbsp butter

  • ½ cup cream cheese

  • Pinch of salt

For the Top Layer (Optional Cream Topping):

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 2 tbsp cream cheese (for stability)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

  • Mix crushed pork rinds with melted butter.

  • Press firmly into a lined pan to form a crust.

  • Chill in the fridge for 20–30 minutes until firm.

2. Make the Custard

  • In a saucepan, heat heavy cream and butter on low (do not boil).

  • In a bowl, whisk eggs well.

  • Slowly pour warm cream into eggs (tempering), whisk continuously.

  • Return mixture to low heat and cook gently until slightly thickened.

  • Stir in cream cheese and a pinch of salt until smooth.

3. Assemble

  • Pour custard mixture over the chilled crust.

  • Let it cool to room temperature.

  • Refrigerate for 4–6 hours (or overnight) until fully set.

4. Add Topping (Optional)

  • Whip heavy cream with cream cheese until thick.

  • Spread or pipe on top of the chilled cake.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve cold for best texture.

  • Top with crispy bacon bits (like in the image) for a salty crunch.
