Instructions

Prepare the Carrot Cake Base:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a round cake pan (8-inch diameter).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and salt.
  • In another bowl, whisk together non-dairy yogurt, vegetable oil, non-dairy buttermilk, and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Fold in the grated carrots.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

Prepare the Cheesecake Layer:

  • In a mixing bowl, beat the non-dairy cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined and smooth.

Assemble the Cheesecake:

  • Once the carrot cake base has cooled completely, spread the cheesecake layer evenly over the top of the cake. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Prepare the Biscoff Drip Topping:

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the Biscoff spread in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until it becomes a pourable consistency. Stir in non-dairy milk gradually until you achieve a drizzling consistency.

Decorate:

  • Drizzle the Biscoff topping over the cheesecake layer. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits over the top for decoration.

Chill and Serve:

  • Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 2 hours (preferably overnight) to set.
  • Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your egg-free and dairy-free Carrot and Biscoff Cheesecake!
