Ingredients
- 2 cups freshly grated carrots
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
- 1 ½ cups chocolate coating (semi-sweet or white)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line your baking pan.
- Combine the grated carrots, sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix well until smooth.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg in another bowl.
- Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients gradually. Stir until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled carrot cake into a large bowl. Add cream cheese frosting, a few tablespoons at a time, mixing until the cake is moist enough to form balls.
- Create balls from the mixture using a small scoop or your hands and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the chocolate coating in a microwave or double boiler. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
- Return the pops to the parchment paper and let the chocolate set. Optionally, sprinkle with nuts or sprinkles before it hardens.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for the best coating. Try different types of chocolate for extra flavor.
