I've found another great way to re-use some of that excess carrot pulp you may have from too much juicing (if there is such a thing!). ...and it's a little tastier than throwing it into your carrot soup!
This recipe has been inspired by a girlfriend of mine, Angela - thanks doll!
1 cup shredded carrot (or carrot juice pulp)
1 Tbsp shredded ginger - you can also use the powder. I've often already got the ginger in my pulp mix!
zest + juice of one orange
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup raisins/sultanas
6-7 soaked dates
1/3 cup almonds (preferably soaked overnight)
1 Tbsp shredded ginger - you can also use the powder. I've often already got the ginger in my pulp mix!
zest + juice of one orange
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup raisins/sultanas
6-7 soaked dates
1/3 cup almonds (preferably soaked overnight)
*cashew nut cream
Blend/process the dates, almonds and orange juice. Mix with all other ingredients except for the cashew nut cream. Press into a cake dish and top with the cashew nut cream and some extra shredded coconut.

Yum this sounds delicious! I will have to try this next time I have carrot pulp :)
ReplyDeleteI just found and like your blog!!
Have a sweet day.
Thanks Vanessa - Enjoy, it's really good!
ReplyDeleteHave a good day :)
Sounds very good. I'm wondering, since carrot juice pulp is a lot dryer (less juice) than shredded carrots will there be a difference in the outcome of the cake using one rather than the other?
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie. It is a little drier, however I actually prefer it, as it firms it up a little more, making it hold together a bit better. If you think it's still a bit dry, you could try adding a little extra orange juice.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend :)
Cashew Nut Cream sounds good ;)
