Carrot Cake Cheesecake image

I have had this carrot cake from a restaurant and it was so good. I also had it at an Italian import store. To get either one of these cheesecake, I had to travel, so I decided to try my knack at it and try to search a way to get it all together. In the end, I think it's as close as it gets. So very yummy and a great twist on...

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my carrot cake cheesecake didn't turn out well. It was a bit too dry.

This carrot cake cheesecake was a bit too dense for my taste. I prefer a lighter cheesecake.

The carrot cake cheesecake looked beautiful, but it was not as good as I had hoped. The cheesecake was a bit too tangy and the carrot cake was a bit too dry.

I found this carrot cake cheesecake to be a bit dry. I think it could have used more cream cheese.
