Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust (9-inch)
• 400 grams Carrots (peeled and chopped)
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 120 milliliters Heavy cream
• 60 milliliters Whole milk
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges of the crust as desired. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.

Step 3

Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Add the peeled and chopped carrots and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Step 4

Drain the carrots and transfer them to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt.

Step 6

Add the cooled carrot puree to the sugar and spice mixture, stirring until well combined.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until the filling is smooth and homogenous.

Step 8

Retrieve the pie crust from the refrigerator and pour the prepared carrot filling into it, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly puffed. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Step 11

Serve chilled or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired. Enjoy!
