A southern style carrot cake, done sweet and moist, is something you just don’t turn down at the close of a delicious meal. Here in Texas, we definitely know how to turn out tempting treats to get our friends and family to stay after dinner or share a good cup of coffee and some of the latest local low-down. However, by taking it one step further and making a carrot cake cheesecake, you’re venturing into new territory – a place that might just be food porn at its finest, and we’re not ashamed to say I’ve been there a time or two.
Carrot cake cheesecake takes everything you know and love about cakes and turns it on its head! How could it be possible that such a sweet delicacy can be combined with another and turned into a dessert we just have to have but never knew about before now? Well, we don’t have the answer. We just know that the goodness that seems to radiate from this dessert is enough to put Sally Fields’ former TV characters to shame. Before you know it, you too will be looking up online recipes late at night. Then you’ll find yourself hiding in the sanctity of your own den, bedroom, or coat closet (wherever you’re safe from prying eyes), trying to glean every last bit of sexy food secrets you can from places like Food Network, which shared their recipe here.
