carrot cheesecake bites
Let me start off by saying...these are addictive!!! You get a bite of brown sugar carrot puree and cheesecake all at once... If you've ever gone to a Chinese restaurant and had those sweetened cream cheese rangoon - you will love these! The cheesecake and carrot worked really well together. It's a very unexpected combination.

How To Make carrot cheesecake bites

-
Step 4In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar. Mix on medium speed until creamy and well combined.
