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.

I made this tonight for dessert. I only had a little less than 1 cup of carrots on hand so I halved the recipe…let’s just say, I didn’t need the final step of how to store it in the fridge because it never made it into the fridge. Straight into my belly.
So good! But probably should practice some self-restraint.
I follow your blog like tweenies follow twitter. I. Love. It. Anywho I wanted to know what brand of sunbutter you use. The only one I’ve been able to find has cane syrup or whatever sugary sounding thing that they refuse to just call sugar.
I will be making this as soon as I restock my vacation starved refrigerator.
This is literally the best thing I’ve ever made. Hands down….I must confess that there wasn’t much that made it into the fridge….
Made this ishhh!! Wow— way better than I expected!
Just made this and it’s excellent! I’m on day 1 of the 21dsd, and this just made the transition MUCH easier. Thank you!!! 🙂
I make this all the time. It’s so easy and we love it!!! I make coconut cream whip cream to top it off and it is amazeballs. I’m trying to find some sort of crust recipe to make this into a pie. Thanks Juli!
Oh my goodness! This is the best. I could eat this every day. Thanks for such a wonderful recipe
You saved the day, yet again. Day 1, phase 3 and I was dying for something sweet after dinner. This is yummy enough to fake my brain out. I think I will be going through a lot of carrots in the next 21 days!!
Is there any substitute for the coconut butter? My attempt at it was an EPIC FAILURE– I think I really did need to use coconut FLAKES instead of shredded, and a bigger bag of it as well… Anyways– I REALLY want to make this but I’m not sure how to get around my coconut butter problem!
Yes, to make coconut butter, you definitely need to use flakes, not the shredded kind.
i dont have a food processor, yet.. do you think a blender would work?
I don’t think it would work quite the same but it’s worth a try!
