Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
These carrot cake cheesecake bars have a sweet cream cheese swirl, making this carrot cake dessert recipe an impressive treat for Easter dinner or spring parties.
There are a few special people in our family who LOVE a moist carrot cake. I don’t think to make carrot desserts often, but a few of our favorites are carrot cake cookies, carrot cake trifle, carrot cake cinnamon rolls and an easy carrot cake bars recipes. Each of these remind me of how much my family loves it!
