What better pairing for Easter is there than carrot cake and hot cross buns? Add cheesecake into the mix and you have the perfect dessert! We recently discovered that Coles has recently released special edition ‘Carrot Cake Filled Hot Cross Buns’ and we couldn’t wait to experiment with them in the kitchen. This is no ordinary cheesecake recipe though, as the hot cross bun forms the base! The cream cheese filling is infused with a delicious spiced vanilla flavour that will have you reaching for one bun after another. It’s layered between the base and the top half of the carrot cake buns, letting the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg flavours sandwich the sweet filling.
