CARROT CHEESECAKE
My family loves this creamy make-ahead dessert. Unlike traditional cheesecake, I sprinkle a streusel topping over the filling. It needs to be refrigerated overnight and is well worth the wait. -Misty Wellman, Scottsdale, Arizona

CARROT CUPCAKES
To try to get my family to eat more vegetables, I often "hide" nutritional foods inside sweet treats. The carrots add wonderful moistness to these cupcakes, which have a rich cream cheese frosting. Now we can have our cake and eat our vegetables, too! -Doreen Kelly, Rosyln, Pennsylvania

CHERRY CHEESECAKE-STUFFED CUPCAKES
OK, this is made at home but I can't call it from scratch. It's mostly made up of helpers which can be a blessing on a busy day. That doesn't mean that these are going to fail the taste test by any means, in fact, I think you'll find these cupcakes are a real hit. The frosting isn't included but just use your favorite vanilla frosting.
