directions

  • Add 1 inches of water to a large saucepan; add carrots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 9 to 11 minutes or until tender. Drain and cool.
  • Place the carrots, milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon and salt in a blender. Cover and process until pureed; process 1 minute longer. Pour into pastry shell. Combine the pecans, brown sugar and butter; sprinkle over filling.
  • Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and edges are browned. [Cover edges of crust with foil during the last 20 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary.] Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.

  1. This is a great recipe. I used egg whites instead of eggs, skipped the pie crust and made a kind of custard, and only made 1/2 the nut mixture. My almost 2 year old is on his second helping. Just as good as pumpkin, and better than some. I think I'll make this for Easter...
     
  2. I made this last night and it was great. Everyone loved it. I used whole wheat for my piecrust. I also made my own brown sugar with Splenda. No one could guess that it was carrots. I plan to make this again soon. It disappeared before I could take pictures of it. I will take pictures next time and post them.
