Ingredients
-
450 g (16 oz) full-fat cream cheese, softened
-
3 large eggs
-
½ cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (zero carb)
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional for strict carnivore)
-
Pinch of salt
Optional (for richer texture):
-
¼ cup heavy cream
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat
Preheat oven to 160°C (325°F).
Line the bottom of a small springform pan (7–8 inches) with parchment paper. Lightly grease the sides.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl:
-
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
-
Add sweetener and mix until fully combined.
-
Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each.
-
Add vanilla and salt.
-
Fold in heavy cream if using.
Avoid overmixing — too much air can cause cracking.
Step 3: Bake
Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake for 40–50 minutes, until:
-
Edges are set
-
Center still slightly jiggly
Do not overbake — cheesecake continues setting while cooling.
Step 4: Cool Slowly
Turn off oven and crack the door open.
Let cheesecake cool inside for 1 hour.
Then refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
Texture & Flavor
This cheesecake is:
-
Dense and creamy
-
Smooth and rich
-
Mildly sweet
-
Pure cheesecake flavor
Without flour or crust, the texture is silkier and more custard-like.
Zero Carb & Carnivore Version
For a strict carnivore approach:
-
Omit sweetener completely
-
Omit vanilla
-
Use only cream cheese + eggs
It becomes more like a baked cheesecake custard — slightly tangy and rich.
Optional Zero-Carb Toppings
-
Whipped heavy cream (unsweetened)
-
Melted butter drizzle
-
Crushed pork rinds mixed with butter (for crust texture)
-
Sugar-free caramel sauce

Too eggy?
Next time reduce one egg and add more cream cheese.
Pro Tips for Perfect Texture

Always use room temperature cream cheese
-
