We are so close to Easter and I am feeling super inspired. Besides going overboard with all the decorations, I also love to try new or fun recipes. Usually, around this time, I make a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, it’s delicious and my family’s favorite cake. However, this year I wanted to try something different, so I kept some of the same ingredients and tried something new. The result was this delicious, mildly sweet Carrot Cheesecake.
Besides, tasting amazing. The pretty orange complements any Easter table. Let’s bake!

Instructions
 

Carrot Puree

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F. 
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread the baby carrots. 
  • Bake for 50 - 60 minutes until they are soft. Stick a fork or toothpick to test. 
  • Using an immersion blender, blend carrots and water. Use 1/4 cup of water at a time until you have a puree.*

Carrot Cheesecake

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F. 
  • Using a hand mixer, combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. **
  • Add one egg at a time. 
  • Mix in carrot puree, ground cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Finally, place the graham cracker pie crust on a cookie sheet and then, pour the mixture in it — Bake in the oven for 35 - 40 minutes.  
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest until it is room temperature. Transfer to the fringe until you are ready to serve. 
  • Serve with a dollop of whip cream and enjoy! 

Notes

  • *Use the beaker that comes with the immersion blender or a large plastic cup to avoid splatters.
  • ** If possible, use a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer, you want to end up with a liquid consistency, not a chunky one.

Decorate

Decorate each slice with paper carrot leaves and a dollop of whip cream. To make the leaves pictured here, use a Cricut cutting machine and green cardstock. Click here for the template. Use two sets of leaves on each slice. To insert the leaves, use a toothpick to make a small hole near the pie crust and insert one leave at a time. If you don’t have a Cricut machine, you could also use a leaf-shape punch cutter, or freehand the stencil yourself. I hope you make this Easter carrot cheesecake and enjoy it as much as my family and I did. It is a delicious and festive recipe to share. Check out the this page to see more Easter ideas.
