This carnivore cheesecake is my go-to dessert when I want something indulgent yet simple, rich yet nourishing. With only a handful of ingredients—cream cheese, butter, eggs, and a touch of salt—you end up with a silky, creamy cheesecake that feels every bit as decadent as a traditional version. It’s naturally low-carb, dense with protein, and incredibly satisfying without relying on any crust, flour, or sugar. Whether you’re following a strict carnivore lifestyle or just looking for a clean, high-fat dessert that doesn’t leave you feeling heavy, this cheesecake is the perfect choice. It’s easy to make, requires minimal prep, and stores wonderfully for days.
