In a medium sized bowl, add the melted butter and brown sugar and mix to combine.

Pour about half of the carrot cake batter into the pan and spread it out with a spatula.
Step 10
Then take half of the cheesecake batter and drop spoonful’s over the carrot cake batter. Don’t swirl yet. Drop the remaining carrot cake batter by spoonfuls around the cheesecake batter and then finish with drops of the remaining cheesecake batter. Then, take a knife and swirl around until the two are swirled together.
Step 11
