Carrot Cake Cheesecake: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups grated carrots
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
  3. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the granulated sugar and beat until well combined.
  4. Add Eggs: Mix in the vanilla extract, then add the eggs one at a time, blending until just combined.
  5. Incorporate Carrots and Spices: Fold in the grated carrots, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and baking powder. If using walnuts, fold them in as well.
  6. Pour the Mixture: Pour the cheesecake batter over the prepared crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake the Cheesecake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly.
  8. Cool the Cheesecake: Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. Run a knife around the edge to loosen it before removing the sides of the springform pan.
  9. Chill: Allow the cheesecake to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Serve: Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
