Sweet Carrot Pops
These were most definitely inspired by this Carrot Milkshake by Megan of EatBeautiful.net. I absolutely adore her recipes and her vegetable-based smoothies. I removed the turmeric from the recipe (among other tweaks) merely because I didn't want to deal with yellow stains on my kids' shirts since it's inevitable that popsicles will drip when handled by a three-year-old!
Ingredients
- 4-5 medium carrots, peeled
- ¼ cup honey
- ½ cup heavy cream, preferably cultured
- ½ inch fresh ginger, grated
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup whole milk or water, if needed
Instructions
- First, cook the carrots. Chop them into 1-inch pieces, then steam them until soft. Set aside to cool.
- Place the cooled carrot chunks in a blender with the honey, cream, ginger, and cinnamon.
- Blend until completely smooth, adding milk or water as necessary to keep the mixture moving.
- Pour into the popsicle molds and freeze until completely firm, at least 4 hours.
Notes
Note about yield: This recipe makes approximately 3 cups of popsicle mixture, which makes 10 popsicles in this simple popsicle mold, but there will likely be a bit leftover. I enjoy the leftovers best as a smoothie.
