This Vanilla Chai Latte Cheesecake is a multi layer cheesecake a vanilla bean, chia spice, and a chocolate espresso layer.
I’m teaming up with Rodelle to help you get ready for fall baking.
This is a sponsored post but anyone who reads this blog knows I have used their products long before I ever started working with them.
To help get you in the mood we will be doing a giveaway of the Rodelle products needed to make this cheesecake.
If you are a avid baker you surely have noticed the price of vanilla going up.
This is due to a lot of factors, mostly due to mother nature not playing nice.
So I’m sure you would love to have some Rodelle Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Beans sent to you.
As well as their wonderful Cocoa Powder.
I’ll tell you how to enter at the end of the post.
I decide to make a this Vanilla Chai Latte Cheesecake because last week when I made the Fireball Sour Cream Topped Brown Sugar Cheesecake people went crazy for it.
It reminded me how much people like cheesecake and how I should be making more of them.
While pumpkin and apple are usually all the rage during fall, I think chai spice is a flavor that isn’t featured often.
Which is a shame because it’s so warm and comforting.
I love me a Vanilla Chai Latte and set out to make a cheesecake with those flavors.
This is a bullseye style cheesecake in which the different batters are layered on top of one another in the center.
It’s a little hard to tell but if look closely you will see a Vanilla Bean Layer, a light brown Chai spice layer, and finally a Espresso Chocolate Layer.
What it makes for is a great cheesecake.
My husband isn’t even that big of a cheesecake guy and absolutely loved this and you will too.
So about the giveaway.
As many of you know I have been a Rodelle Brand Ambassador for many, many years now.
All of their products are superior in my opinion and are my absolute favorite to bake with.
I know many of you have written to tell me that you buy Rodelle now because of me and that makes me happy to hear.
I’m happy to hear you love it as much as I do.
So to win some Rodelle Vanilla Beans, Rodelle Vanilla Extract, and some Rodelle Baking Cocoa all you need to do is to leave a comment letting me know what your favorite thing to bake in fall is?
CONTEST IS CLOSED.
*As always, while I was compensated for this post…the opinions, comments, and bad grammar are all mine.
Please support companies who support my blog. 😀
Last but not least…it’s a great time to order my cookbook. 😀

My favorite thing to bake and eat in the fall is pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. Nothing fancy but it’s so moist and flavorful:)
Peabody says
Anything with cream cheese frosting and I’m in. 🙂
Marie Costello says
My favorite thing to bake would be “fall” quick breads… Zucchini bread, banana bread, pumpkin w/chocolate chip bread. Yum!
Peabody says
Quick breads are always great to bake.
Megan P. says
I do like to make pumpkin bread but I also start craving cinnamon buns in the fall. And this cheesecake looks awesome!
Peabody says
A good cinnamon roll is the best.
Karen says
I love apple stuff- tarts, cakes, anything. And I use Rodelle vanilla when I make them.
Peabody says
Love all things apple and love that you use Rodelle.
Tim says
My favorite thing to bake this time of year is oatmeal scotchies. That isn’t so much about the cookies as it is the handfuls of butterscotch chips I will eat while making them.
Peabody says
Oh I love Oatmeal Scotchies.
Angel says
I love to make different fall macaron flavors – including chai latte!
Peabody says
Oh wow. I am horrible at making macarons but I’m good at eating them. 🙂
Alice says
Ha ha – same!
Cindy Kastner says
Apple pie 🥧. Grandma Tip gave me a Gravenstein Apple Tree to plant. I look forward to baking and eating grandmas apple pie every fall.
Peabody says
Hopefully it will produce as many apples as my trees. They produced sooo many apples this season.
Molly says
There’s a recipe I’ve been making for years for my husband and me called “apple crisp for two” – just the right amount of apple crisp in a little ramekin using a honeycrisp apple. Scoop some homemade vanilla ice cream on top and it competes with my favorite chocolate desserts (which for me is saying something)!
Peabody says
Sounds awesome. And love the portion control.
Martha says
I don’t bake very often in the summer, so ANYTHING is my favorite thing to bake in the fall….chocolate cookies are ready for the oven right now……ok, not very “fall-ish” but always in season!
Peabody says
It’s always chocolate chip cookie season.
Irene says
Hello Peabody!
I like anything pumpkin, at any time. A good batch of brownies, light on the sweetness, are always tasty too!
Peabody says
I too like pumpkin anything…and year round.
Megan says
Anything pumpkin, cake, cookies, bread, etc. But I love surprising people with pumpkin and sage lasagna.
Peabody says
Such a tasty combo. In fact I just posted a Butternut Squash recipe using sage and brown butter.
Melissa Eagan says
Anything with pecans!
Peabody says
Yes. Love me a pecan.

I like to make pecan pie in the fall.

Always a good one.

Pumpkin bread or Pumpkin Bars with a browned butter frosting
Rebecca says
It’s hard to pick one! But I have a cranberry cream cheese pound cake recipe that is one of my favourites…
Karen says
I love to make gooey pumpkin bars with pecans on top!
Would like to try Rodel products as I have used Mexican vanilla for years. I live in Tx so it is a pretty common vanilla. The cocoa would be interesting to try also. It would be nice to try a tried and true brand.
J says
My favorite thing to bake in the fall is quick breads…love pumpkin but always looking for something different to try. Of course, fall is when I bake alot more when it’s cooler out. So I’ll be baking bundt cakes, cookies, bars, fudge…you get the picture. 😂
Have a fantastic weekend Peabody! I’m so glad things are getting better for both of you!
Peabody says
Thank you!
Shelli Scott says
Definitely pecan pie…….just screams fall 🙂

My favorite thing to bake in the fall is cinnamon rolls, the smell, the cream cheese frosting, I love sweet rolls 🙂
Jordan Prince says
You have literally taken my two favorites and mashed them into one beautiful marriage of deliciousness. Pinning and making this asap!
My favorite thing to bake in fall is basically anything with cinnamon. But there is also this recipe my mom used to make (the privilege has now been passed to me) that is a two layer no bake pumpkin pie cheesecake and it is TO. DIE. FOR.

Mine is very simple. I just made a pumpkin pie today to take to my card party tomorrow. I do love pumpkin pie tho. I’m sorry to say, but we don’t have that brand of vanilla or other products available where I live.
Ginger Vermaes says
I love to bake anything. I do like the sweet breads though during fall and winter. The pumpkin, apple spice. The list just goes on & on. I don’t think I’ve ever had Chai so i’ll have to try this recipe. It sure looks good.
Katie Rose says
ANYTHING! I stop baking nearly as much once the humidity hits. As soon as it’s cool enough to want to coziness that baking brings to the house the oven is on. So far I’ve done pumpkin spice muffins, secret ingredient biscuits (eh, not impressed), banana nut muffins, and 85 cupcakes for my grandma’s 85th birthday (okay, I made more than 85. I wasn’t fiddling with measurements to get them to come out exact. Who would complain about a few extra cupcakes?) The only thing I need now is a better icing/frosting recipe. I made several flavors of swiss meringue buttercream to put on the cupcakes and by itself each of them tasted delicious. Once I put them onto the cupcakes they seemed too … something. Buttery? Greasy? Foamy? I don’t know. They just needed more substance or something.
Now I just need the humidity to go away again! We haven’t had more than a day or two of fall weather at a time yet. I’d like to do apple pie next 🙂
Jennifer says
I like to make caramel apple pie bars. BTW love your blog!
Joanna says
My favorite fall bake is a pumpkin bread recipe that’s been in my family forever. Puts all other pumpkin breads to shame.
The secret: a shitload of oil. Mmmmmm so moist and delicious

Cookies. Which is pretty much my standard for any time of year. Tho, lately, it’s been more seasonal things. And we all know I have always loved whipping up the fine concoctions on your site 😉
Mary Davis says
My favorite thing to bake in fall is pumpkin pie.
MaryAnn says
Favorite fall baking……anything with pumpkin! And spice cake, the wonderful aroma while baking. I think I need to bake today!
Marpy says
I bake lots of pumpkins and save the puree in baggies in the freezer. That way, I can indulge in both sweet and savory treats all year! My favorite (and hubby’s) is a take on my carrot ginger soup…but I use pumpkin instead. Lots of garlic and ginger, a swirl of Greek yogurt, and it’s a warm, satisfying side.
Carol G says
When cool crisp fall weather arrives, I automatically go into bread baking mode….my favorite thing!
Shelli Scott says
Cinnamon rolls are a definite 🙂
Jeri says
I love a good coffeecake, especially on the weekend.
Carol Faulkner says
My favorite thing is Fresh Apple Cake from Momma’s recipe. I can sit down with that first piece and visualize her setting at the old formica table with her first piece and a cup of coffee. Miss you Momma.
Karen says
I love baking with pears in the fall!
Nancy says
My Godmothers Applesauce cake with a nice buttercream frosting! Very old recipe!
DJ Ball says
My favorite thing to bake in the fall is probably baklava. I love all the spices, zests, honey, and walnuts. It smells like harvest time to me. (I also mix it up at least once every fall and make a honey baklava cheesecake)
Lisa V. says

There are so many great things to bake but I love to bake Pull-Apart Bread, especially if it has pumpkin or apples in it.
Sarah C. says
My favorite things to bake in the fall are pumpkin chocolate chip cookies and apple crisp. Although, honestly, I like to bake almost anything in the fall – fall just = baking to me!
Denise says
I love making apple cake, I found a recipe for a bundt pan that actually gives it a little crispy exterior. Love making them for the neighbors because it makes the house smell great!
Diane T. says
I love baking Pumpkin Cake Rolls. My Mom and I used to bake several a day. We loved baking together. She has since passed, and I miss our baking times together so much.
Lizzie says
Mincemeat, anyone?! I love mincemeat pie, tarts, cookies and I’m on the lookout for a mincemeat bread of some sort… pumpkin bread and pumpkin cobbler are right up there with my mincemeat! I love your blog!

Only ONE favorite thing?! Pumpkin chocolate cake, with pumpkin Nutella gingersnap bread/pumpkin pie squares/apple pie/apple crisp and anything else pumpkin or apple coming a close second.
Ciara says
Hmmm, apple crisp, or spice cake. Yum😋
Heather says
Bread! Cheddar Guinness if possible. And chicken pot pie!
