Healthier Easter Carrot Cake Pops

Servings 12 people

Ingredients

  • Frosting
  • ½ cup raw cashews, soaked for 12 hours in water, then drained and rinsed
  • cup golden raisins
  • cup water
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 3 teaspoons Natural Calm, Orange Flavor
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch sea salt
  • No-Bake Carrot Cake Pops
  • ½ cup raw walnuts
  • cup medium-shredded unsweetened coconut
  • 21 pitted dried prunes (approximately ¾ cup)
  • ¼ cup sultana raisins
  • 2 cups medium-shredded carrots
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions

  • For the frosting, add soaked and drained cashews to the jug of your high-powered blender. Add remaining frosting ingredients and blend on high until very smooth. Transfer to a bowl and set aside on the counter.
  • For the cake pops, add the walnuts and coconut to the bowl of your food processor and pulse on high for 2 minutes, until walnuts are in little pieces.
  • Add prunes and raisins. Pulse again, for 1 minute, until prunes are broken down and mixture is sticky.
  • Add in remaining ingredients—carrots, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Pulse for 20 seconds, just to incorporate.
  • Roll mixture into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoons per ball.
  • Poke with a cake pop stick and set on a cake pop rack. Alternatively, if you do not have either, you could use Popsicle sticks and lay to rest on a baking sheet.
  • Transfer pops to the freezer for one hour.
  • Once chilled, carefully dip each in the frosting or add frosting to a piping bag and drizzle over the top of each pop. Another option is covering in frosting and sprinkling with chopped walnuts.
  • Return to the freezer for another 20 minutes to harden.
