Carrot cake cheesecake layer cake ingredients<\/h3>\n

The carrot cake calls for shredded carrot, applesauce, optional oil, pure vanilla extract, apple cider or white vinegar, ground cinnamon, flour, salt, baking soda, and sweetener.<\/p>\n

And you will need cream cheese, yogurt, vanilla, cornstarch or protein powder, and pure maple syrup or sugar for the cheesecake layer.<\/p>\n

Use fresh peeled carrots with the stems removed. Yellow, purple, white, and orange carrots all wok equally well.<\/p>\n

You may swap the applesauce in the carrot cake layer for an equal amount of yogurt, crushed pineapple, sour cream, or mashed banana if you prefer.<\/p>\n

I recommend spelt flour, oat flour, white all purpose flour, or Bob\u2019s Red Mill gluten free flour for the best texture. A sugar free and keto version with almond flour is also included below.<\/p>\n

Full fat yogurt and cream cheese yield the creamiest results. To create vegan carrot cake cheesecake, simply use your favorite plant based cream cheese and dairy free yogurt. The recipe is already naturally egg free.<\/p>\n

Choose a granulated sweetener or sugar for the carrot cake. And go with any all purpose dry or liquid sweetener of choice, including pure maple syrup or honey, for the cheesecake.<\/p>\n
