Carrot and almond cheesecake
A combination of cheesecake and carrot cake? Yep! Very tasty combination of two favorite desserts. For me, a completely new experience of these two desserts that are my favorites. It's not a super creamy dessert… the texture is slightly crumbly and reminiscent of a carrot cake but again so light, fluffy
and moist… what a great combination!
