- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup shredded carrots
For the Cheesecake Swirl:
- 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the CBD Cream Cheese Drizzle:
- 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature

Essential Tools:
- 2 mixing bowls
- Whisk
- Rubber spatula
- Hand mixer

The Baking Process:
Step 1: Carrot Cake Base
Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a bowl, mix the melted butter and brown sugar. Stir in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients and fold in the shredded carrots.
Step 2: Cheesecake Swirl
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and continue beating until creamy.
Step 3: Assembling the Layers
Spread half of the carrot cake batter in the baking pan. Drop spoonfuls of half the cheesecake mixture on top. Repeat with the remaining carrot cake batter and cheesecake mixture. Use a knife to swirl the two batters together.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is slightly jiggly. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting.
Step 5: CBD Cream Cheese Drizzle
Mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and CBD water soluble until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag and drizzle over the cooled bars.
A Slice of Bliss
Cut into squares and enjoy a delicious treat that combines the best of both worlds - the comforting flavors of carrot cake and cheesecake, with the added tranquility of CBD. Perfect for a cozy night in or as a thoughtful homemade gift.
