Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded carrots*
• 1 cup tightly packed pitted dates
• ½ cup unsweetened coconut flakes
• 1 cup walnuts
• ¼ cup melted organic coconut oil
• ¼ cup coconut flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• ½ tsp ginger
• ½ cup soaked cashews**
• ⅛ cup unsweetened coconut milk
• 1 tbsp maple syrup***
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp almond extract
• 2 tbsp walnut pieces for topping

Directions

• To make the base, mix dates in a food processor until it forms a paste. Break up the paste into a few chunks to spread it evenly throughout the food processor.
• Add the walnuts, carrots, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, coconut flour, coconut oil and coconut flakes together to the food processor with the date paste and combine until mixed together.
• Line a loaf pan with parchment paper vertical and horizontal so you can pull up the cake easily once set.
• Place the base mixture in the loaf pan and place in the freezer while you make the icing.
• To the food processor, add soaked cashew, coconut milk, maple syrup, almond extract and coconut oil. Blend until a silky smooth icing forms.
• Remove the loaf pan from the freezer and using a spatula spread the icing over the base covering all the corners and edges. Sprinkle with walnut pieces and gently push into the icing with your finger to secure.
• Place the loaf pan back in the freezer, 4 hours minimum (overnight is best).
• Remove and slice into 16 mini carrot cake bites.
• Keep carrot cake bites in a container in the freezer.
