Carrot Coconut Cheesecake Recipe, Carrot Cheesecake Recipe

September 11, 2015 by maria 20 Comments

My first cake for Christmas is Carrot Coconut Cheesecake! Carrot Coconut Cheesecake   is made from creamcheese + carrots + coconut + cashewnuts. I should call it as C3 cake 😉  Cheesecake was moist, smooth, nutty and very delicious. Cheesecake got over as soon as it was made. I myself ate 4 slices of it can’t believe that. My hubby, friends, relatives all finished them instantly.

Carrot Coconut Cheesecake is healthy due to carrots. I have made this cake as per my gut and impulse. To be honest I was quite tensed how will be the outcome but the result was great. This carrot cake is one of my best favorite cake. Try them you will love them also for sure. 

Also I make creamcheese home and make as much as I want. As to buy creamcheese in India is an expensive affair. So I make them home simple 🙂

Christmas is coming near and so many things left to be done. I haven’t planned to shop anything for myself as I don’t have the time to do it. I want to do some kind deed this Christmas. I am running out of words today so I just share the recipe quickly.

Let’s make Carrot Coconut Cheesecake Recipe:

  1. Preheat the oven at 180°C exactly 15 mins before baking. Grease the loaf pan and dust some flour over it. Grate carrots and keep aside. Sift all dry ingredients like flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Keep the dry ingredients aside.

    I want to know that for Carrot Coconut Cheesecake could I…
    1. Put some grated coconut in the cake? If yes then how much?
    2. Instead of cream cheese what could I use. I want to make the cake but I am not able to get cream cheese.

    Regards,

      Thanks a ton for coming here I am glad you liked the pics 🙂

      You could use 4 tbsp dry coconut flakes Or powder which I have mentioned in the recipe already. You could make creamcheese at home which I make most of times. Follow the same process of making homemade paneer just don’t strain all water let the paneer have some liquid. Now grind this into a processor keep this paste in a covered container Or bottle this is your homemade cream cheese. You could also place it in the freezer and thaw for an hour and use as and when you like. Hope this helps you if you find creamcheese process tedious for you just used 100 ml full fat milk 🙂

      Regards,
      Maria
