Ingredients

Carrot Cake Cups

1 large Carrot about 1 cup shredded
1 cup Walnuts
1¼ cup Medjool Dates pitted
¾ cup Shredded Coconut
⅓ cup Plant Milk
¼ cup Almond Flour or coconut flour
1½ tsp Cinnamon
¾ tsp Nutmeg
½ tsp Ginger

Cashew Icing

1 cup Raw Cashews soaked
4 Medjool Dates
½ cup Plant Milk
1 tsp Vanilla
Salt

Instructions

Start by soaking your cashews in boiling water for 15 minutes to soften. If you want to keep this recipe raw you can also soak them in warm water for 6 hours, or overnight.
Make sure your dates are nice and gooey! If they are too dry soak them in boiling water for 15 minutes or soak overnight in room temp water.
Add the ingredients for the carrot cake cups into a high speed blender or food processor and pulse until the mixture comes together. If needed add an extra tablespoon at a time of plant milk to get the blender moving. Scrape down the sides as needed and try to add in as little liquid as possible.
Transfer the mixture into a greased muffin tin. It should make about 6-7 cups! Pat the mix down with your fingers or with the back of a spoon and make little bowls in the center. This is where we will put the cashew icing! Set aside.
Make the cashew icing by blending the ingredients together in a small blender until completely smooth.
Divide the icing into the carrot cake cups then top with some extra crushed walnuts!
Let them set in the freezer for a minimum of 3 hours. Keep them in the freezer for when you are ready to enjoy! Just take them out 5-10 minutes before you'd like to serve them!
