Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars

These carrot cake bars combine the spicy-sweet flavor of traditional carrot cake with creamy, smooth cheesecake and lemon extract for an irresistible dessert. Carrot cake bars are an indulgent year-round treat, but we especially love them for Easter or anytime during the spring season.
