Carrot Cake Cheesecake




I decided to combine the delicious desserts of carrot cake and cheesecake into one making a carrot cake cheesecake. The bottom is the carrot cake and the top is the cheesecake. I never had the confidence to make a cheesecake until December when I made a Banana Bread Cheesecake and it turned out so delicious that I knew that I wanted to keep trying more and more cheesecake recipes.

For the base of this recipe, I used my Carrot Cake Banana Bread recipe. It is whole-grain, moist and delicious. I hit a home run when I had made my Banana Bread Cheesecake with the cheesecake portion so I kept that same recipe for the cheesecake part. It turned out fabulous! Serve this for Easter or for your next birthday celebration.
