Description
All the flavor of carrot cake in a smooth custard pie. Your kids will have no idea there are vegetables hiding in this dessert. You can add more sugar syrup to this recipe in order to counter the carrot flavor.

- 2 1/2 deciliters water
- 500 grams sugar
- 1 cinnamon sticks
- 100 grams flour
- 6 eggs

- cinnamon (for sprinkling)
Directions
- 1Cook the carrots in boiling water. Once cooked, drain and puree.
- 2Let cool slightly.
- 3Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
- 4Meanwhile, in a saucepan, add the water, sugar and cinnamon stick. Let the mixture boil until reaching the firm pearl stage (when you drip it off a spoon, the falling strand is bit thick and falls in a drop shape).
- 5When the sugar syrup is at this stage, remove from heat, and remove the cinnamon stick.
- 6Add the carrot puree, flour, eggs, and lemon juice.
- 7Stir very well with a whisk or in the blender.
- 8Grease a pie pan with butter and sprinkle with sugar.

If you're a big fan of carrots and dessert, you will love this. It's a different take on the same old carrot cake. It does have a strong carrot flavor, so if you want to tone it down, you may need to make a little more of the sugar syrup. That will help dilute the taste while adding some sweetness. We love carrot cake and thought this pie was perfect as is with the cinnamon on top.
