Ingredients
- 2 cups Carrots
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Desiccated coconut
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely shred the carrots using a box grater or food processor. Measure out 2 cups of shredded carrots and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the shredded carrots, granulated sugar, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly as the sugar dissolves and the carrots soften. This process should take about 5-7 minutes.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Once the mixture is cool enough to handle but still warm, fold in the mini marshmallows until they are evenly distributed.
Step 6
Using your hands, scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a small ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
Step 7
Spread the desiccated coconut onto a plate. Roll each carrot marshmallow ball in the coconut until evenly coated.
Step 8
Place the finished balls on a tray lined with parchment paper. Let them cool completely and firm up, about 15-20 minutes, before serving.
Step 9
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
