Carnivore Cheesecake with Honey

Carnivore Cheesecake with Honey

A decadent cheesecake, round and baked, filled with cream cheese, egg, heavy cream, butter, and honey. It is creamy, thick, and protein-rich, definitely not the best fit for a straight-up carnivore lifestyle (more of an animal-based / low-carb way to eat).
