Carrot Pudding?! I know… it sounds crazy to use a vegetable as the main ingredient of a dessert. But it really isn’t. Think of pumpkin pie. This is the same concept. In fact, my creamy carrot pudding tastes very similar to pumpkin pie. This is delicious. Give it a try! Enjoy.
Preparation + Cook Time: 60 minutes
This recipe makes about 2 C of pudding.
Ingredients:
- 7 Organic Medium-Sized Carrots*
- 1/2 C Maple Syrup
- 1 T Melted Coconut Oil
- 1/4 C Almond Milk
- 3/4 t Allspice
- 1/2 t Cinnamon
- 1/4 t Nutmeg
- 1 t Organic Vanilla Extract
Instructions:
- Rinse, peel, and chop the carrots into small pieces.
- Place the carrots into a pot of water. Cover and turn onto a boil. Once the water is boiling, turn down to a simmer. Cook the carrots until they are soft.
- Drain the water from the pot. Place the carrots into a bowl and put them in the fridge for approximately 20 minutes until they are completely cooled.
- Put the carrots in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the blender and combine until everything is evenly mixed in.
- Store the pudding in the fridge. When you are ready to serve, spoon the pudding into bowls. I would recommend topping the pudding with non-dairy cream and some pecans or pumpkin seeds.
*If you use regular non-organic carrots, they are usually much larger so you will only need about 5 carrots instead of 7.
