Ingredients

How to Make Carnivore Crustless Cheesecake
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a round baking dish or springform pan with butter.
Step 2
Place the softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl. Beat it until it becomes smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the eggs one at a time. Mix well after each egg until fully combined.
Step 4
Add the sour cream, melted butter, vanilla extract, sweetener, and salt. Mix until the batter is smooth and creamy. Do not over mix because too much air can cause cracks during baking.
Step 5
Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared baking pan. Gently tap the pan on the counter to remove any large air bubbles.
Step 6
Place the pan into the oven and bake for about 45 minutes. The edges should be set while the center should still have a slight jiggle.
Step 7
Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside with the oven door slightly open for about 30 minutes. This slow cooling process helps reduce cracks.
Step 8
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature.
Step 9
Place the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or overnight. Chilling gives it the perfect texture and flavor.
Step 10
Slice into eight equal pieces and serve cold. Enjoy every creamy bite.
