No Bake Cheesecake Pudding

Not only are no bake recipes easy to make and really tasty, but it’s an opportunity to use one of my favorite ingredients, grass-fed beef gelatin!

Gelatin is the secret ingredient used to get the thick, pudding texture without needing to bake or cook anything.

If you don’t already have gelatin as one of your keto pantry staples, I recommend buying grass-fed beef gelatin powder. It’s essential for making jello and flavored gelatins, plus also great to add in coffee, smoothies, and hot drinks.

Gelatin is a protein derived from collagen that is known for a number of health benefits. (1, 2)

  • Hydrated skin
  • Healthy intestines
  • Lower blood sugar
  • Stronger joints and bones

Gelatin is flavorless and colorless but has an amazing jelly-like texture.

Now on to making cheesecake with gelatin!

It will only take 10 minutes maximum to prep since we’re not fiddling around with a crust or anything extra.

Feel free to get creative by adding a sugar-free mixed berry sauce upon serving.

If you are following a carnivore diet stick to the basic recipe and keep it simple.

Sugar Free Cheesecake Filling

I sweeten this sugar-free cheesecake filling with Lakanto, which is my first choice for a zero-calorie, keto sugar alternative.

They have a full line of sugar substitutes and liquid sweeteners that will meet all your needs. Plus, the coupon code PRIMALEDGEHEALTH always saves 20% off non-sale items!

Lakanto is on my keto shopping list because it’s very versatile and perfect for sweetening easy keto recipes.

The cheesecake filling is always my favorite part of the dessert, so when someone asked for a carnivore cheesecake, I knew it would be front and center!

If you feel like a baked cheesecake, try this Nut-Free Keto Cheesecake instead.

How to Make an Easy Cheesecake Pudding

Like all recipes, you start by gathering up the ingredients.

  • Grass-fed beef gelatin
  • Sour cream
  • Water
  • Sweetener

I chose sour cream because that makes the final gelatin tangy like cheesecake. You can substitute with fresh whipping cream if you don’t have sour cream on hand.

The sweetener can vary. As I mentioned above, I use a blend of erythritol and monkfruit to keep the dessert low carb. However, if you prefer to use exclusively animal foods and don’t mind the carbs, honey will be the best choice. Surprised? See more on that topic below.

I love how simple this keto carnivore dessert is!

Now that you have the ingredients, follow these simple directions.

Put the cream in a wide dish and sprinkle the gelatin over the top. You want as much surface area as possible; the wider the dish, the better. Leave aside to “bloom” while it sits and thickens.

Bring the water to a simmer in a small sauce pan on the stove over medium heat. Whisk in sweetener, until it dissolves.

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the thickened cream. Mix well until gelatin is completely dissolved.

Pour into individual pudding cups like ramekins or one main serving dish.

Refrigerate for at least an hour or until completely set. Serve chilled.

Carnivore Diet and Honey

There’s a discussion to be had around eating a carnivore diet and honey. We’ve touched on it before in our post on What to Eat on a Carnivore Diet and included it as an option in our Carnivore Diet Food List

Ultimately, you need to make the decision that is right for you.

Consider your goals and priorities. Do you prefer to be in ketosis? Do you need to gain weight on a carnivore diet?

If it is more important for you to stay low carb, consider using a keto sweetener. Substituting ¼ tsp vanilla extra for the sweetener is also an option if you don’t do well with keto sugar substitutes. The vanilla will give a nice flavor and subtle sweetness.

If your goal is to gain weight with animal foods, honey is a useful tool! Follow the recipe directions below, omit the sweetener, and drizzle as much honey as you like once the pudding has set. I prefer to add the honey at the end to avoid heating it up since honey is best kept raw.

White Oak Pastures has incredible wildflower honey, add that to your cart next time you order grass-fed, regenerative meats online!

Notes

Those on a carnivore diet may want to omit the sweetener or drizzle raw honey on the top, once set. Consider your priorities and goals; make the choice that is best for you. See the post above for more details on this.
Adding ¼ of vanilla extract instead of a keto sweetener or honey can also add flavor and subtle sweetness.

    Made this without sweetener and added vanilla – yum. Made it again today and added vanilla, cinnamon, and a little bit of minced unsweetened coconut. Thanks for the yummy and satisfying dessert.
