Ingredients

2 cups grated carrots
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups white chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

Instructions

Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Cook the Carrots: In a saucepan, combine grated carrots, sugar, butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens (about 10-15 minutes).
Add Flavor: Stir in vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to combine.
Incorporate Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from heat and add white chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth. If using, fold in chopped nuts.
Transfer to Pan: Pour the fudge mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
Make the Frosting: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Spread it over the cooled fudge layer.
Chill: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until set. Once firm, lift the fudge out of the pan using the parchment overhang and cut into squares.
Serve: Enjoy your Carrot Cake Fudge as a delightful dessert or treat!
