Two desserts this week. You smart people are excited. You dessert nazis are annoyed. Haters. Well luckily, this dessert has no added sugar in it. So really, it could just be a side dish for all you people who hate desserts and deny yourself happiness. And if you’re doing the sugar detox like me, this is a perfect dessert for you. If you aren’t doing the sugar detox, you are a much happiner person AND are lucky because you can add honey and chocolate chips to make it stupid good. You b*tches.
That paragraph was all over the place.
So this dessert is made from carrots. Obviously. Carrots are slightly sweet. That’s why some genius out there started making cakes from carrots. Have you ever tried my carrot cake cupcakes? HOLY BALLS. Maybe one of my favorite desserts. Maybe. Anywho, on this sugar detox, I can still have carrots. Woot woot. Puree that sh*t. Add some to vanilla to that sh*t. And love that sh*t. That’s what I did. Like a kid in a candy shop. And I hear carrots are good for your sight. I can see through walls now. Fact.
I kinda miss Drew Barrymore in movies. I like her.
Wanna know something gross? I have a scab on my inner thigh from rope climbs. And now it’s peeling off. It’s a blessing in disguise that I can’t fit into jeans because that could get real uncomfortable. I don’t know why I’m telling you this.

Juli!!!! Brilliant recipe once again 🙂 started the detox just yesterday and was craving sweets somethin’ fierce today!! Made this delicious little bundle of joy and it did just the trick! Love it so much I will continue to make it after the detox to enjoy in place of ice cream. Love ya! Keep up the awesome work!
Woww…now if that wasn’t the best food presentation I have ever seen, LOL, Awesome! Oh, and recipe sounds good as well, did you say the fridge after?
I made this pudding last weekend and have made it 2 additional times since. Yeah – doesn’t last more than 2 days in my house either apparently…
Holy crap Juli!!! I made this yesterday. It was like eating carrot cake batter. AH-MAZING! I couldnt stop eating it… Somehow I’ve managed to save a little bit and will mix some walnuts through it. Perfection!!
Do you ever come up to Fort Collins? Because I am pretty sure I need to hang out with you. And dance. And stuff.
Just made this and am SO impressed how yummy and satisfying (& damned healthy!) it is – without any added sweetener! You ROCK! And I love to dance so it’s a real win/win with your bonus video! Thanks, Juli!
I made this today and YUMMMM!!!! So delish! I had some Sweet & Salty Sugarless Snack Mix from the Paleo Parents on hand and sprinkled it on top – yowsers!!!! It was awesome. Which got me thinking – maybe you should use this recipe as a “base” for a Sugar Detox Ice Cream – oh hell yes!!!!
I’m in the middle of a paleo challenge at my gym and just made this. Not going to lie, I was a bit skeptical, but this was DELICIOUS and totally hit the spot. I should’ve known better than to question it, your recipes never disappoint!
Amazeballs!
Julie- I am trying to go Paleo (and sugar free!! ah!) but there is a problem that I seem to be coming across…I am allergic to nuts AND coconut (which seems to be in almost EVERY recipe). Any way you can post some recipes or substitutions for me? Thanks!!

hey sarah. that’s super tough, BUT it’s probably better because then you won’t be creating some of these naughtier foods that include coconut or nuts. if you keep looking through google, you may be able to find some recipes out there without that stuff
