Peel and slice the carrots into bite-sized rounds, approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the sliced carrots and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until tender but still slightly firm. Drain the carrots and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to create a roux. Be careful not to let the roux brown.
Slowly whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream, ensuring no lumps remain. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Season the sauce with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, nutmeg, white pepper, and sugar. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Add the cooked carrots to the cream sauce. Stir gently to coat the carrots evenly and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Remove the saucepan from heat and transfer the creamed carrots to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
