Carnivore No-Bake Mascarpone Cheesecake

This rich, creamy, and indulgent no-bake cheesecake is made with mascarpone and other animal-based ingredients, making it the perfect zero-carb dessert for a strict carnivore diet.

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

For the Cheesecake Base (optional):

  • 2 oz (60g) crushed pork rinds
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

For the Cheesecake Filling:

  • 8 oz (225g) mascarpone cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (preferably grass-fed, full-fat)
  • 1 tsp beef gelatin powder (optional, for extra firmness)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional, to enhance flavor)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base (Optional):

  • If you’d like a base for your cheesecake, combine the crushed pork rinds and melted butter in a bowl.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or individual serving dishes.
  • Place in the refrigerator to set while you prepare the filling.

2. Whip the Heavy Cream:

  • In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside.

3. Mix the Mascarpone Cheese:

  • In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • If using gelatin, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 1 tbsp of water, let it bloom for 5 minutes, and gently heat until dissolved. Mix it into the mascarpone.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt (and vanilla extract, if using) and blend until well combined.

4. Combine the Filling:

  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream. Mix until smooth and fully combined.

5. Assemble the Cheesecake:

  • Spread the filling evenly over the base (if using) or directly into ramekins for crustless cheesecake.
  • Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Chill:

  • Cover and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, chill overnight.

7. Serve:

  • Serve chilled, as is, or with optional carnivore toppings like whipped cream or a drizzle of melted butter.

Optional Carnivore Toppings:

  • Whipped cream (unsweetened)
  • Crispy bacon crumbles for a sweet-savory twist
  • Melted butter or ghee for richness

Pro Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the highest-quality mascarpone and heavy cream for the best flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This cheesecake also freezes well for up to a month.

This Carnivore No-Bake Mascarpone Cheesecake is an easy, decadent dessert that satisfies sweet cravings while keeping it 100% carnivore-friendly. Perfect for special occasions or a guilt-free treat! 🍰🥚🧈
