Zero-Point Vanilla Cheesecake (Full Carnivore)
📖 Description
This Zero-Point Vanilla Cheesecake is a fully carnivore, crustless dessert made with only animal-based ingredients — no sugar, no sweeteners, no plant extracts. It’s rich, creamy, lightly tangy, and naturally satisfying. The subtle “vanilla-style” warmth comes from slow baking and high-quality dairy rather than extract.
Perfect for strict carnivore eaters who want a simple, indulgent treat.
