Caramel pecan cheesecake carrot cake: an all-in-one of my husband’s favorite things for his bday


Carrot cake cheesecake

With some deviations:

5 layers (3 carrot, 2 cheese) because I didn't love the esthetic in the recipe with the thick layers – baked the carrot cake on a sheet pan and cut out rounds, and baked each cheesecake separately since I know I'd have mangled it beyond recognition if I tried to torte it.

White chocolate cream cheese frosting instead because it's what I always make carrot cake with + some sour cream and half the sugar

Caramel (store-bought Mrs. Richardson's) + chopped roasted pecans between each layer because the frosting seemed a bit redundant with the cheesecake there.

And portioned down to 6 inches because then there will be less for me to eat.

    Portioning it to six inches is such a smart move. Still impressive without leftovers haunting you all week.

    My husband and I had carrot cake cheese cake from a little diner in BC like 10 years ago, and we still talk about it. Your version with pecans and caramel must be next level!

    This is all my faves in one, wow! Amazing job! I’m curious how hard it was to get the cheesecake layered, was it frozen first?
