Dive in and enjoy the absurdity because no question is too wild for me to tackle!

What are the main ingredients for this crust?

The stars of the show are finely crushed pork rinds and melted butter. That’s it! Simple, yet oh-so-delicious.

Can I use anything other than pork rinds?

If you stray from pork rinds, it’s no longer a carnivore pie crust. But hey, you do you! Just know that pork rinds give it that perfect crunch and flavor. Besides, what else would you use?

How long does it need to chill in the fridge?

Give it at least 6 hours to set, but overnight is even better. Good things come to those who wait!

Can I use this crust for sweet dishes?

Absolutely! If you use unsalted pork rinds and unsalted butter, this crust is perfect for sweet pies and cakes. You can even add a natural keto sweetener like stevia, allulose, monk fruit, or erythritol to sweeten the crust. Dessert, here we come!

What if I accidentally eat all the pork rinds before making the crust?

Well, then you’ll have a very buttery pie dish and a happy tummy. Just get more pork rinds and try again!

Can I make this crust while watching a cooking show for inspiration?

Of course! Just don’t get too inspired and start adding non-carnivore ingredients. Keep it simple and stick to the plan.

Is it okay to dance in the kitchen while making this?

Not only is it okay, it’s encouraged! A little dance makes everything taste better. Just be careful with that melted butter.

What if my dog tries to steal a piece?

While this crust is human food, I can’t blame your dog for wanting a bite. Just keep an eye on your furry friend and maybe give them a treat of their own.

Can I make mini pies with this crust?

Sure thing! Just press the mixture into muffin tins or small tart pans. Mini pies mean more crust to filling ratio, and who doesn’t love that? Check more tips from the Tips for Variations section for your mini pies!

What if I don’t have a pie dish or springform pan?

Improvise! Use a baking dish, a cake pan, or even a sturdy plate. As long as it holds the crust and filling—and is food-grade material—you’re good to go.

Can I eat the crust by itself?

I won’t judge! It’s so good that you might be tempted to snack on it solo. Just save some for the actual pie, okay?

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make the No-Bake Pie Crust

Take 2 cups (470 ml) of finely crushed pork rinds…

…and pour in 1/3 cup (80 ml) of melted butter.

Stir them together like you’re mixing the ultimate potion for deliciousness.

Next, it’s time to press and impress: Dump that buttery pork rind mix into a pie dish or springform pan lined with parchment paper.

Press it firmly into the bottom and up the sides like you’re molding a masterpiece.

Pop the crust into the fridge and let it chill while you whip up your favorite filling.

Fill and chill: Pour your filling into the crust, then let it hang out in the fridge overnight or at least 6 hours. Patience, my friend; you will be rewarded with pie (or cake) perfection.

Release your masterpiece from its springform cage—or serve your pie straight from the pie pan. Decorate as you wish.

How I Came Up with This Carnivore Pie Crust

It all started one fateful day as my birthday approached, and I had a craving for a savory cheesecake that would fit my fiber-free carnivorish lifestyle. I wanted something indulgent, something that screamed, “I’m delicious, and I have zero plants in me!” But there was one tiny problem: every pie crust recipe I have are packed with plants and fiber. Ugh, the horror!

Determined to conquer this culinary challenge and make the perfect birthday treat, I embarked on a mission to create the ultimate no-bake crust. I raided my pantry, tossing aside almond flour and potato fiber like they were yesterday’s news. That’s when I spotted my last bag of pork rinds hiding in the corner, looking all innocent and crunchy. A lightbulb went off in my head—why not crush these bad boys and turn them into a crust?

I grabbed the pork rinds and threw them into the blender, blitzing them into a fine powder. Then, I melted some butter (because butter makes everything better) and mixed it with my newly pulverized pork rinds. The result was a buttery, crunchy mixture that tasted like heaven.

I pressed the mixture into a springform pan, feeling like a culinary genius, and popped it in the fridge to chill. As I waited for it to set, I whipped up a savory cheesecake filling that would make any carnivore proud. When the time finally came to combine the two, it was a match made in a plant-free paradise.

This no-bake, fiber-free marvel satisfies even the most hardcore carnivore cravings. Now, every time I dig into a slice of savory cheesecake, I can’t help but chuckle at the thought of those humble pork rinds transforming into a culinary masterpiece perfect for my birthday celebration.

Here’s the recipe for you to enjoy:

Tips for Variations

Ready to take your No-Bake Carnivore Pie Crust to the next level? Here are some delicious variations and use cases to inspire your culinary creativity:

Savory Cheesecake Filling (My Birthday Special)

This is the filling I made for my birthday that you can see in the photos. It’s the perfect complement to this no-bake fiber-free crust:

2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons gelatin powder
1 1/4 cups = 300 ml heavy cream
25 oz = 700 g full-fat, carrageenan-free cream cheese
1/4 cup = 60 ml full-fat sour cream
1 tablespoon my Organic All-Purpose Seasoning
1 teaspoon (or to taste) unrefined sea salt

1. Bloom the gelatin by sprinkling it over the water and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
2. Whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks and set aside.
3. Soften the cream cheese by beating it with an electric mixer for a couple of minutes.
4. Add the sour cream, all-purpose seasoning, and sea salt to the cream cheese. Mix well with the electric mixer.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
6. Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave or a small saucepan until piping hot and fully dissolved.
7. Gradually pour the gelatin mixture into the cream cheese mixture, stirring constantly.
8. Take your No-Bake Carnivore Pie Crust from the fridge. Pour the mixture over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula.
9. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight, to let it set and let the flavors mingle.
10. Remove the cheesecake from the fridge and carefully release it from the springform pan. You can warm the sides slightly by wrapping a hot, damp towel around the pan or running hot water along the edges. Be cautious not to get water inside the pan!
11. Decorate with ham rolls and fresh herbs, or get creative with your favorite savory toppings.

Sweet Variations

For those with a sugar-free sweet tooth, use unsalted pork rinds and unsalted butter. Add a natural keto sweetener like stevia, allulose, monk fruit, or erythritol to the crust mixture. This sweetened crust is perfect for:

– Cheesecakes: Top with a classic cream cheese filling and fresh berries. I made a Keto Rum Cola Cheesecake and a Keto Tropical Cheesecake for my birthday using my own naturally-flavored stevias.
– Chocolate Pies: Fill with a rich, sugar-free chocolate mousse.
– Berry Tarts: Use a keto-friendly custard and top with your favorite low-carb berries.

Mini Pies

Make individual servings by pressing the crust mixture into muffin tins or small tart pans. These mini pies are great for parties and portion control. Fill them with any of the savory or sweet fillings mentioned above. You can also freeze the ready pies for later use.

With these variations, your Carnivore Pie Crust can become the star of any meal, whether sweet or savory. Get creative and enjoy the endless possibilities! Which filling are you going to make?

General Ranting

So, Friday was my birthday, and I finally launched my revolutionary jerky product in three flavors. If you’re not interested, you’re seriously missing out! But hey, go ahead and munch on your tough, miserable jerky and choke on it. I don’t care!

My birthday was a total bummer. I spent the whole day working. My closest people sent birthday wishes via messages, but I didn’t get a single present. Nothing. Zero. Nada. My family gave me zilch. No card, not even a sad bucket of flowers. My mom barely managed a “happy birthday” because she was busy with other stuff.

And even though I haven’t had any income from my one-woman company for a year, I’ve still given birthday presents to my closest people—who earn way more than I do. I guess I’ve learned my lesson: it’s best to focus on myself and use my limited funds for my own needs rather than expecting anything from others. Taking care of myself seems to be the way to go.
