Ingredients
- 500 grams carrots
- 300 grams parsnips
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 60 milliliters heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the carrots and parsnips, then chop them into evenly sized chunks to ensure even cooking.

Carefully add the chopped carrots and parsnips to the boiling water. Cook for 20-25 minutes or until the vegetables are fork-tender.
Drain the cooked vegetables and allow them to sit in the colander for 2-3 minutes to release excess water.
Transfer the carrots and parsnips to a large mixing bowl or a food processor.
Add the unsalted butter, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper to the bowl or food processor.
Using a hand mixer, potato masher, or food processor, blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the whipped carrot snips into a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful side dish!
