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.

- 2.5 deciliters water
- 500 grams sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 100 grams flour

- Add the carrot puree, flour, eggs, and lemon juice.
- Stir very well with a whisk or in the blender.
- Grease 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.
