  • Makes: 1 serving (158 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium

Ingredients

  • 100 g Carrots, raw
  • 30 g Sugar
  • 3 g Lemon juice
  • 15 g Walnuts
  • 10 g Coconut, desiccated

Method

  1. Grate the carrot finely and cook it with the sugar and lemon juice in a pan over medium-low heat, stirring often, for 25-30 minutes until it reduces to a very thick, jammy paste that holds its shape.
  2. Stir in half the chopped walnuts.
  3. Spread the mixture about 1.5 cm thick on a tray lined with parchment and let cool until firm enough to handle, about 30 minutes.
  4. Cut into small bars or cubes, then roll each piece in the desiccated coconut to coat.
  5. Press a piece of the remaining walnut onto each and let set fully before serving. Makes 1 portion of 2-3 pieces; multiply for a bigger batch.
