Feeling uninspired by your Easter menu this year? A now-viral TikTok recipe just might change that — at least when it comes to dessert. With a store-bought cheesecake and some simple ingredients, you can create the cutest Easter treat ever (and even kids will love it!).
TikToker @beautyanddasweetz shared a video about her cheesecake hack, which now has over 704,000 views. She bought a mini cheesecake from Walmart and transformed them into 12 carrots!
She started by freezing the cheesecake for a few hours, then slicing it into 12 pieces. “You’ll want to freeze it for cleaner cuts and easier dipping,” she advised.

Then, she melted green candy wafers and put it into a piping bag to create little green leaves to top the carrots on a piece of parchment paper. She melted vanilla candy melting wafers and colored it so it would be orange, then using a popsicle stick, she dipped each slice into the orange-colored chocolate.
Finish by attaching the green leaves to the top of the slices, then drizzle the remaining orange mixture over the cheesecake and some Oreo cookie crumbs for dirt. These are so cute. And if you don’t like carrot-flavored things like carrot cake, it’s the perfect dessert for Easter!
“Cheesecake Carrots 🥕✨ A quick and easy Easter recipe that looks cute and tastes yummy!” @beautyanddasweetz captioned the video. “The mini cheesecake from @Walmart yielded a dozen perfect sized carrots. You can of course use a homemade cheesecake but these were delicious ☺️”

“This is amazing definitely making these 💕 easy, beautiful and people will actually eat them,” another wrote.
