Carnivore Pizza

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 ounces cream cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toppings:

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup cooked meat (pepperoni, sausage, bacon, etc.)
• Optional: cooked vegetables (like mushrooms or bell peppers) if you want to include some non-carnivore toppings

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a pizza stone or baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the Crust:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Microwave for about 30-45 seconds until melted. Stir until smooth.
   • Add the eggs, Italian seasoning (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the Crust:
   • Spread the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping it into a round or rectangular pizza crust about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Bake the Crust:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and firm.
5. Add Toppings:
   • Remove the crust from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and your choice of cooked meat (and optional veggies) on top.
6. Bake Again:
   • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve:
   • Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Carnivore Cheesecake

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 cup almond flour (or crushed pork rinds for a more carnivore-friendly option)
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 tablespoon sweetener (like erythritol or your preferred option)

For the Filling:

• 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup sweetener (to taste)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
2. Make the Crust:
   • In a bowl, mix the almond flour (or crushed pork rinds), melted butter, and sweetener until combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the springform pan.
3. Bake the Crust:
   • Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool.
4. Prepare the Filling:
   • In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sour cream, sweetener, eggs, and vanilla extract (if using). Mix until well combined.
5. Pour the Filling:
   • Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
6. Bake:
   • Bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set. It may have a slight jiggle, but it will firm up as it cools.
7. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the cheesecake to cool at room temperature before refrigerating for a few hours or overnight. Slice and enjoy!
