👨🍳 How To Make
Easily make this carnivore friendly no bake cheesecake! Follow these steps
Step 1
Add the heavy cream to a stand mixer. Mix on medium-high until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Step 2
Add the cream cheese and stevia to a large mixing bowl and mix well. Then, add the confectioners’ stevia, vanilla extract, and sour cream. Mix well.
Step 3
Fold the heavy cream into the cream cheese mixture. Do it slowly so the heavy cream won’t deflate!
Step 4
Add the mixture to a springform pan (I used a 9″ one). Cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. Remove the springform pan rim, and serve. Enjoy! I recommend serving with whipped cream on top.
💡Tips
1. Whip the Heavy Cream Properly
To achieve the perfect consistency for your cheesecake, it’s important to whip the heavy cream correctly. When whipping the cream, make sure to use a clean, chilled bowl and whisk attachment. Start mixing on low speed and gradually increase to medium-high as the cream begins to thicken.
Stop whipping when stiff peaks form, which means that when you lift the whisk, the peaks stand straight up without drooping. Be careful not to over-whip the cream, as this can lead to a grainy texture and eventually turn the cream into butter.
2. Fold the Heavy Cream Gently
Once you have whipped the heavy cream to stiff peaks and mixed the cream cheese mixture thoroughly, it’s time to fold the two together. Folding is a gentle mixing technique that helps incorporate the whipped cream without deflating it.
To fold, use a large spatula to cut down through the center of the mixture, then gently scoop from the bottom and fold the mixture over itself.
Rotate the bowl a quarter turn and repeat the process until the whipped cream is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese mixture. Be patient and take your time to ensure a light and airy cheesecake.
