Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Carrots
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Desiccated coconut
Instructions
Peel and finely shred the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Measure out 2 cups of shredded carrots and set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the shredded carrots, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly as the sugar dissolves and the carrots soften. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm, fold in the mini marshmallows until they are evenly distributed.
Using your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Spread the desiccated coconut onto a plate. Roll each carrot marshmallow ball in the coconut until evenly coated.
Place the finished balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Let them cool completely and firm up, about 15-20 minutes, before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
