Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Carrots
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey (optional, for added sweetness)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and chop them into even-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in length, for uniform cooking.
Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt to the water.
Place the chopped carrots into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to medium and cook the carrots for 15-20 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked carrots and return them to the pot or place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, salt, ground black pepper, and optional honey to the warm carrots.
Using a hand mixer, immersion blender, or potato masher, blend or mash the carrots until they are smooth and creamy. Adjust the texture to your preference by mashing less for chunkier carrots or blending more for a whipped consistency.
Taste the whipped carrots and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if desired.
Serve the whipped carrots warm as a side dish, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped parsley or a drizzle of melted butter, if desired.
