CARROT CAKE POPS



Carrot Cake Pops image

These aren't garden-variety carrots: They're carrot cakes! To make the veggie lookalikes, we mixed crumbled carrot cake and cream cheese frosting, formed it into logs, then coated the faux carrots in orange candy melts. The finishing touches: some scratches for texture, a little cocoa powder for dirt and a green licorice stem.

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 to 15 carrot cake pops

Number Of Ingredients 7

Cooking spray
1 15- to 16-ounce box carrot cake mix (plus required ingredients)
1 cup cream cheese frosting
2 12-ounce bags orange candy melts
6 red candy melts
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Green apple licorice, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚. Coat a 9-by-13-inch pan with cooking spray. Prepare the cake mix, pour into the prepared pan and bake as directed. Let cool.
  • Crumble the cake into a large bowl. Add the frosting and mix with your hands until well combined. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • With damp hands, form the crumbled cake mixture into 12 to 15 compact carrot-shaped logs, about 8 inches long. Put on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Carefully insert a skewer into each carrot, reshaping as needed. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt the orange and red candy melts together in a large bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until smooth.
  • Transfer the melted candy to a shallow baking dish. Working quickly, dip the cake pops in the candy melts, turning to coat, then return to the baking sheet to set.
  • Once set, use a skewer or toothpick to etch horizontal lines in the coating.
  • Brush the carrots with cocoa powder, making sure it gets into the etched lines.
  • Remove the skewers from the carrots. Use extra melted candy to attach a piece of green licorice to each; let set.

CARROT CAKE ICE CREAM



Carrot Cake Ice Cream image

Carrot cake is one of the best cake flavours...well at least after chocolate. :) I took my love for carrot cake and my love for ice cream to create the perfect combo...carrot cake ice cream! To make the ice cream a little lighter, use 1 1/2 cups skim or 2% evaporated milk instead of heavy cream or half and half. This makes the ice cream not quite as creamy, but (at least when made in an ice cream maker) it does not freeze solid like some low fat homemade ice creams. An ice cream maker is optional for this recipe.-----Recipe made by me for RSC #10!

Categories     Frozen Desserts

Time 1h55m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup unsalted pecans, finely chopped
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup golden raisin
1/4 cup light cream cheese or 1/4 cup cream cheese
1 teaspoon maple syrup
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups heavy cream or 1 1/2 cups half-and-half
3/4 cup carrot, cooked and pureed

Steps:

  • Cook about 1 1/4 cup sliced fresh carrots in the microwave or stovetop until soft. Blend in food processor or blender with enough water or milk to make a puree. Measure out 3/4 cup carrot puree, set aside.
  • Heat the 1 cup of heavy cream with the brown sugar in a medium size saucepan on medium heat, stirring often.
  • When cream mixture is hot, whisk vigorously while adding the gelatin powder. Add in raisins (only if using an ice cream maker) and cream cheese and continue to heat for about 4 minutes, stirring often.
  • Remove saucepan from heat. Pour hot mixture into a large glass bowl. Add maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt. Whisk in evaporated milk (or heavy cream or half and half), and pureed carrot.
  • Chill in fridge for about 1 hour or 1/2 hour in freezer, till ice cream mixture is cold. The ice cream mixture will be thicker at this point.
  • ICE CREAM MAKER: Follow manufacturer's directions, adding chopped pecans near the end of the freezing process.
  • FREEZER METHOD: *Note - this method will take longer than the listed time to make*. Skip the previous chill step. Add in raisins and pecans. Pour ice cream mixture in a covered shallow pan and freeze until almost solid. Break up frozen mixture and process in food processor or blender until soft (this incorporates air into the ice cream). Repeat 1 to 2 more times.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet carrots: Sweeter carrots will result in tastier carrot cake ice pops.
  • Use quality cream cheese: Full-fat cream cheese will give the ice pops a richer flavor and creamier texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the ice pops tough.
  • Chill the ice pops thoroughly before serving: This will help them set and prevent them from melting too quickly.
  • Garnish with your favorite toppings: Shredded carrots, chopped nuts, or a drizzle of caramel sauce are all great options.

Conclusion:

Carrot cake ice pops are a delicious and refreshing treat that are perfect for a hot summer day. They're also a great way to use up leftover carrot cake. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make these ice pops at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give carrot cake ice pops a try.
