The unique combination of a browned butter and bacon crust with a smooth and tangy cheesecake filling will leave your taste buds craving more. Here’s how to whip up this decadent dessert:
Ingredients:
For the Carnivore Crack Crust:
- 1 cup butter
- 2 strips bacon
For the Cheesecake:
- 24 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, 1/4 cup reserved for whipped cream topping
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crust:
- In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat and continue cooking until it turns a golden brown color to make browned butter. This will add a nutty flavor to the crust.
- Pour the browned butter into a parchment-lined springform pan.
- Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble or chop it into small pieces. Sprinkle the crispy bacon evenly over the browned butter.
- Place the pan in the freezer to set the crust while you prepare the cheesecake filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to whip 1 1/4 cups of the heavy whipping cream until it forms stiff peaks. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until it is fluffy and smooth.
- Add the sour cream to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
- Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Remove the springform pan from the freezer. Pour the cheesecake filling over the frozen crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Return the cheesecake to the fridge and let it set for at least 8 hours, or overnight, to ensure it firms up properly.
- Prepare the Whipped Cream Topping:
- Prior to serving, whip the reserved 1/4 cup of heavy cream until it forms soft peaks.
- Spread or dollop the whipped cream over the top of the set cheesecake.
- Serve:
- Remove the cheesecake from the springform pan, slice, and serve chilled.
This Carnivore Crack Cheesecake is perfect for special occasions or as a luxurious treat to enjoy any time you desire something truly special. Enjoy the deep flavors and creamy texture of this unique carnivore-friendly dessert!
