One variation of a multilayer edible food carrier includes a brittle edible layer formed of a first batter comprising: a volume of a base mixture including water, salt, grain flour, fat, and lecithin; a volume of gas dispersed throughout the volume of the base mixture; and a volume of oil absorbed by the first batter within a cook chamber configured to transform the first batter into the brittle edible layer. The multilayer edible food carrier further includes a soft edible layer: nested within the brittle edible layer in an assembled configuration; and formed of a second batter comprising water, a fat blend comprising cheese dissolved in water, an amount of grain flour, an amount of starches, an amount of baking powder, an amount of an emulsifying agent, an amount of dairy milk, an amount of fat, an amount of sweeteners, and an amount of flavoring agents.

A method of manufacturing a homogeneous cheesecake mix is disclosed. More specifically, the method creates a harmonious and homogeneous cheesecake with the flavoring and coloring being distributed along the cheesecake mix. The present invention requires a cheesecake mix, a flavoring blend, a mixing bowl, a plurality of sensors, and a mechanical sensor. The initial amount of flavoring blend and the cheesecake mix are added into the mixing bowl to make an initial mixture. The initial mixture is mixed into a batter using a mechanical mixer. An incremental amount of flavoring blend is added and mixed into the batter to make a cheesecake mix. The cheesecake mix is then probed for color and concentration. Repeat the last two steps until desired color and flavor is achieved. Finally, the mechanical mixer is stopped to form the homogeneous cheesecake mix once the desired color and flavor is achieved.
