Number Of Ingredients 24

CHEESECAKE FILLING
2 pkg cream cheese, softened (8 oz each)
3/4 c sugar
2 1/2 tsp vanilla (I used vanilla bean paste)
1 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 eggs
CARROT CAKE
3/4 c vegetable oil
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 can(s) crushed pineapple, packed, in juice; drain well and reserve juice; 8.5 oz can
1 c grated carrots
1/2 c coconut flakes
1/2 c chopped nuts (I used pecans, of course)
PINEAPPLE CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
2 oz cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp butter, softened
1 3/4 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 Tbsp reserved pineapple juice

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make cheesecake filling. In a large bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla.
  • 2. Add flour and eggs and beat until smooth. Set aside and make the carrot cake batter.
  • 3. Carrot Cake Batter: In a large bowl combine oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
  • 4. Add in flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Mix well.
  • 5. Stir in drained pineapple, carrots, coconut, and pecans.
  • 6. In a greased springform pan, spread about 1/2 of the carrot cake batter in the bottom.
  • 7. Spoon 1/2 of the cream cheese mixture over the carrot cake batter.
  • 8. Top with remaining carrot cake batter.
  • 9. Lastly, spread remaining cream cheese mixture on top. Do NOT marble the mixtures together; just create layers.
  • 10. Bake at 350 for 50-65 minutes.
  • 11. Let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate.
  • 12. Once the cake has chilled through, prepare the frosting by mixing all ingredients until smooth.
  • 13. Frost top of cheesecake and refrigerate 3-4 hours before serving. (Note in my pic, I frosted the sides, too, because I didn't read my own instructions very well!)

I made this cheesecake in a springform pan and it worked perfectly. I also used a store-bought carrot cake mix to save time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in the crust with graham crackers. It turned out great!

The cheesecake was a little dry. I think I should have added more milk to the batter.
