INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (9 inch) deep dish pastry shell, partially baked
  • 1 pound baby carrots
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar

DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. Steam carrots until soft but not mushy. Cool slightly.
  3. Place carrots in food processor and puree until smooth. Add honey, eggs, butter or margarine, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and walnuts. Blend until smooth. Pour mixture into a large bowl.
  4. In a separate bowl combine brown sugar and white sugar, mixing well to get all lumps out. Fold sugar mixture gradually into carrot mixture until well incorporated. Pour mixture into partially baked pie shell.

I thought this recipe was EXCELLENT. Tasted very similiar to pumpkin pie (which I happen to love, but have no interest in making from scratch!). It's healthy (at least relative to other pies!) because of the carrots as well. One tip I have, you don't need a food processor to puree the carrots (I don't own one). I put the carrots in my steamer for a little bit. Then put the carrots in the bowl that I was going to use anyway, and smushed them by using my hand held blender. Worked out great! Highly recommend this recipe!

Tastes like a sweet potato pie, with a little crunch. This was a surprise favorite.
