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:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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!
