Carnivore Cheesecake may sound too good to be true but it’s not! This is a no bake keto dessert recipe that celebrates the best part of every cheesecake – the filling. The easy creamy filling is all you need to satisfy a dessert craving or treat yourself without fiber.
With this crustless version, you don’t have to turn on the oven or prepare a water bath. I believe in easy keto recipes and love making options for those (like me!) who are interested in zero-fiber carnivore diet recipes too.

Quick No Bake Keto Cheesecake
A keto no bake cheesecake filling is a delicious, guilt-free way to enjoy a healthy dessert while staying on a keto diet.
This is a low carb, almost zero carb dessert recipe that takes just minutes to prepare. No crust, no bake, no fuss!
You can make it ahead of time and store in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days until ready to eat. The recipe is also freezer friendly so you can double or triple batch the recipe and freeze whatever you don’t need right away.
I sweeten with powdered monk fruit which you can buy online or at local health food stores. Erythritol will work as well. Powdered sweetener is better than granular sweeteners because it blends into a smooth texture while the granular options remain gritty. To powder it yourself, just measure out the amount you need and grind it in a coffee grinder or small blender until powdery.

Crustless Cheesecake for One
Cheesecake crusts are usually made with graham crackers. In the case of low-carb cheesecake, crusts are prepared with almond or other nut flour. Delicious as they may be it’s not what we are looking for on a carnivore diet.
Graham crackers are out of the picture because they are made with wheat and sugar. Nut flours are not used because of the high fiber content, phytic acid, and oxalate.
If you have never heard of oxalate, read about a Low Oxalate Diet and review my low oxalate food list to learn more!
Once we eliminate the crust the cheesecake starts looking a lot more carnivore friendly!
Essentially we whip all our favorite diary foods together, add a pinch of monk fruit sweetener, and a splash of vanilla extract for flavor. The filling is almost made entirely from animal foods, which are exactly what to eat on a carnivore diet.

The non-animal foods have no fiber and are used in very small amounts. Since this is a cheesecake recipe for one, you only need enough for you and can adjust the ingredients to taste if needed.
There’s really nothing better than raw dairy which I recommend you use whenever possible. It can be challenging to find so I suggest using the directories I have listed in my guide on How to Find Quality Foods.
How to make a Carnivore Cheesecake Recipe
The process of making this carnivore cheesecake recipe is quick and easy. Those are two of my favorite words when it comes to cooking!
Gather all the ingredients together, add them to a bowl and beat until smooth.
Since this is a recipe for one, we don’t even need to drag out a big electric mixer. I use a 2-cup measuring cup and immersion blender, but you can use a bowl and a handheld electric mixer instead.
When served fresh, the cheesecake filling is light and fluffy like whipped cream but tangy like cheesecake. Let it chill in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes and it will firm into something more dense like cheesecake.
With 5 simple ingredients, this is a delicious dessert for one. Single serve desserts make portion control easy so you won’t be tempted to overeat.

Great recipe😊 Easy and delicious!
Thanks, Kathy!
The creamy texture is so satisfying, and the powdered monk fruit gives it just the right amount of sweetness. It’s so quick to make and so delicious. I’ll be making this dessert again for sure.
Thanks for the five star review, Jellian. Texture is important in a cheesecake, so we are glad it was a success for you.
Who needs crust anyway, the filling is where it’s AT! Loved this, easy, creamy, rich . . . easy to customize with a different flavor profile. Will definitely be making again, thanks!
Customize away…the possibilities! Happy to hear this recipe is on repeat.
Easy and delicious! My favorite kind of dessert.
Mine too, lol. We appreciate the comment, Christie.
This was fantastic! I’ve been craving cheesecake for awhile and wanted to indulge without all the guilt and this one hit the spot! Love thats it’s for one serving and quick to whip up!
Patty, it’s great to hear this recipe curbed your cravings. Thanks for the review.
Pretty good! This is my go-to sweet tooth craving… and I love the real cheesecake as well when I wasn’t doing carnivore diet. So this definitely satisfies the craving. Thanks so much!!!
Thanks, Ed. We love hearing when our recipes satisfy those specific cravings.
Hello. This is divine! I made a bigger batch for the whole household to have. How much is one serving size please? 1/2 cup? Thank you!
Hello Cara! I’m so glad you think so! I would need to make the recipe again and get an exact size of 1 serving. I don’t think it’s quite 1/2 cup, but probably closer to 1/3 cup at most. Considering how much you multiplied to make the big batch and then dividing the total yield into that number of Dixie cups or small containers could be a good way to separate out individual portions.
So good! I substituted the sweetener for raw honey and it was still great. I’ll definitely be using this when I get those dessert cravings!
Nice choice Colleen, raw honey is great if you don’t mind the carbs. How delicious! Thanks for leaving a review.
How much honey did you use?
Is the “2 oz” of cream cheese by weight or by volume? I’m trying to convert this to a metric recipe, wasnt happy with the auto conversion on the printed recipe page.
Hi Earle, the recipe uses 2 oz of cream cheese by weight. 1 ounce is approximately 28 grams; therefore, 2 ounces is 56 g. The recipe card converts to 56.7 grams. I’m sorry but I don’t see a mistake here. Why aren’t you happy with the metric conversion?
I’ve been making this for while now. It’s so good! Today I tried adding about a TBS of ground cinnamon to the mix. It tasted just like a cream cheese cinnamon roll!
What a great idea to add cinnamon! I’ll have to try this next. Thank you for sharing this simple flavor variation!
Cinnamon is extremely high in oxalates, just a warning to those who can’t have them, perhaps some ginger powder would go well?
Or nutmeg?
Hi,
Am keen to try this but are the metric conversions correct when you look at 2 x and 3 x? Im in Australia and we use the metric system. 6 tablespoons of sweetener on 3 x doesn’t seem right?
Thanks,
David
Good catch here! David, I updated the conversion and it’s all correct now. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. 3x should be 1.5 tbsp.
This cheesecake “fluff” will make a great topping! I’m excited to try it on a carnivore cake that has no sweetener at all.
Yum, Lori! That sounds like a great idea!
Recipe for carnivore cake?
Hi Lynn, I have a recipe for carnivore cake linked with “more carnivore desserts” just above the recipe card 🙂 Enjoy!
Why no eggs? Just some yolks would be beneficial.
Go ahead and give it a try if you want to 🙂 When I want to use egg yolks, I make a Carnivore Custard or Carnivore Egg Pudding. You can search for those recipes here on the PEH blog. Enjoy!
Thank you for the recipe, it looks great! Is there any way to sub Greek yogurt for sour cream? I do t have any on hand.. thanks again!❤️
Hi Kristina, Yes, absolutely you can substitute the sour cream for Greek yogurt! Enjoy 🙂
What would be a suitable substitute for the heavy whipping cream, the thick-only portion of canned coconut milk (i.e. coconut cream)?
Sure Monika, you could try that too 🙂
I wonder if glycine would hold up in place of the monkfruit. I’ll experiment! 🙂
Does glycine have carbs? calories?
Glycine isn’t something I use much, I’m sure a quick internet search would answer your qs!
