    Don't underestimate this vegan style carrot pudding. This is a delicious no bake sweet treat made from chopped carrots, dates, ginger, nut butter, nutmeg and cinnamon. It take less than 10 minutes to whip this up in your blender from scratch.

    Delicious low carb creamy carrot pudding made in a blender within 10 minutes

    When it comes to desserts, nothing beats an after dinner treat with tastes good and ready to eat within a matter of minutes.

    Well that is what I present to you today, nothing but carrot goodness.

    I think the best thing about cooking is the experimenting aspect of it, c'mon am I the only one who loves diving into the kitchen and exploring something new?

    I haven't felt so elated about since I made my No Bake Mango Cheesecake trust me when I say that day was like winning the jackpot. It also the same experience when I got around to making Mango Chia Seed Pudding

    I'm sure I am not alone with this one. Anyway, I had a large bag of unused carrots laying around in my vegetable trolley that was just gathering dust 

    So it occurred to me to make this spectacular vegan carrot pudding - trust me when I feel you it's oh so simple and all you need is a high speed blender.

    I had my family do the honours of taste testing this dessert a few times, making a few tweaks before finalising the recipe.

    Although carrot is the star of the show, the nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger taps into my Caribbean heritage.

    Ingredients you will need

    ingredients for carrot pudding

    How to make carrot pudding

    steps 1-2 making the vegan carrot pudding

    • Add all of the ingredients to your blender
    • Blitz into a smooth thick consistency and scoop into serving bowls

    Notes and tips

    • Keep the pudding refrigerated for up to 5 days maximum
    • I used my vitamix to puree the carrots into a smooth consistency. The carrots DO NOT need to be grated if you are using a powerful blender like this one or a Blend Tech.
    • Add the coconut milk as the carrots are being pureed, ⅓ cup is a rough guide, you may need less or a splash more of water to compensate.
    • Feel free to add/swap out the spices i.e cardamom, caraway seeds, cranberries, cashew nuts
    • Double or triple the recipe if necessary for more servings.
    • If you don't own a powerful blender use a food processor instead or you may need to par boil the carrots for 5 minutes just to soften them first.
    • The texture of the pudding should be thick not thin and watery. In a worse case scenario add more carrot to balance things out.

      Hi Charla,

      This was another winner! I love carrots and totally enjoyed this dessert.
      I did however need to add more water than your recommended to the
      recipe in order for the blender to work. Thanks bunches for sharing. 🙂

        Hi Ceil. Glad you enjoyed the recipe. I use a Vitamix which is a high powered blender which breaks down the ingredients with ease. Not sure what blender you have but if it's not the latter that may explain the additional use of water.

          Hi Charla,

          Thanks for explaining the reason why I needed to add more water to the recipe...I've heard great things
          about the Vitamix, but haven't invested in one as yet because I'm still bouncing around the globe.
          I'm however, looking forward to making this investment when I return to the USA.

            Hey there Ceil.

            Please do! It's costly but worth every single penny. There's not a day that goes by where I don't use my Vitamix, it's so powerful and blitz everything within a matter of seconds.

      Hi Charla,

      I made this dessert last night - it's also a winner!
      I did however, find it necessary to add another 1/4 cup of water
      to your specified amount in order to get my blender to
      blend all the ingredients together. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
