Description

Imagine a dessert that marries the comforting spice of carrot cake with the luxurious creaminess of cheesecake. This chilled carrot cake cheesecake offers a symphony of textures and flavors, beginning with a delicately spiced base that provides a satisfying crunch. The crust, a carefully balanced blend of ground nuts, warm spices, and just a hint of carrot, is baked to a golden-brown perfection, releasing its aromatic essence and creating a foundation of toasted goodness.

The subtle sweetness of the carrots adds depth and complexity without overwhelming the overall flavor profile. Above this delectable base lies a rich and velvety cheesecake filling, infused with a touch of fresh citrus that brightens each mouthful. The creamy texture melts in your mouth, creating a delightful contrast to the slightly crumbly base.

The cheesecake layer is generously flavored, complementing the spiced crust and creating a harmonious blend of sweet and savory notes. Requiring minimal oven time, this dessert is mostly set in the refrigerator, making it ideal for any occasion. This carrot cake cheesecake is perfect for sharing, whether it’s a festive gathering or a simple weeknight treat.

The vibrant flavors and contrasting textures offer a delightful experience that lingers on the palate. For those who prefer a completely no-bake option, the base can simply be pressed into the pan and chilled until firm, foregoing the baking process altogether. Either way, you'll achieve a stunning dessert that is sure to impress.

This chilled dessert offers a wonderful balance of comforting flavors and luxurious textures. The spice-infused base and the creamy filling create a truly unforgettable experience, making it a delightful indulgence for any time of year.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and select a deep loose bottom cake tin - about 6 inches wide. Add the ground almonds, 1/3 cup walnuts, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, salt, coconut oil, butter, and 1/4 cup erythritol to a food processor. Pulse to combine, forming a chunky crumb. You may adjust the level of spices and sweetness to personal taste.
    2.
    Grate the carrot and add to the food processor along with the orange zest. You only need about a tablespoon of carrot. Pulse together briefly to combine.
    3.
    Spoon the crumb mixture into the base of the cake tin. Press the mixture down firmly and evenly to create your cheesecake base layer. Transfer to the oven and bake for 10 minutes until lightly golden. Once baked, set aside to cool completely.
    4.
    While the base is cooling, you can prepare the filling. Add the remaining erythritol to a bowl with the cream cheese, vanilla, and orange juice. Beat together until smooth and well combined.
    5.
    Add the heavy cream to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Whip the cream and cheese together until well combined. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
    6.
    Spoon the cheesecake mixture over the cooled biscuit base. Transfer to the fridge for a minimum of 6 hours to firm and set. Ideally, leave overnight.
    7.
    Once the cheesecake is set, you can carefully remove it from the tin. Arrange the remaining walnut halves around the edge of the cheesecake. Serve chilled.
