Carrot Cake Cheesecake

For the Tony's party this year, I decided to try something new.  You know how great it is to mix cake with ice cream?  Try that in cheesecake:

Recipe
First, bake a carrot cake (mix is OK), and bake 1/4 of the batter separately.  The 3/4 will be a carrot cake on it's own, enjoy.

Lay crust in springform pan:
1/2 package maria cookies, 1/2 stick butter melted with 1t cinnamon, 1/4t allspice.  Chill

For the cheesecake:
3.5 bars cream cheese
1/2 stick butter
1.25 C sugar
1.5T corn starch
3 eggs
1/2 C whipping cream
1t vanilla
1T lemon juice
- Mix together these ingredients

Crumble the 1/4 baked carrot cake, add some raisins, becherovka, and 1C of cheesecake batter.  Mix

Pour carrot cake/cheesecake batter onto crust.
Pour remaining cheesecake batter on top.
Apply pecans ad lib.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 min, then 200 for 75 min.
