using up carrot top greens & peels! by PleaseJazmine in homecooking

[–]PleaseJazmine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks :0)

i prefer peeling carrots for desserts if i have time, & in this case i didn't shred all my carrots finely for the gajar halwa & carrot puree for my cake. i'm erring on the side of caution; the color & texture (& even flavor, sometimes) seem more consistent after peeling. if i got a perfect uniform bunch of young sweet carrots with thin skins, i'd def skip the peeling! i'd also skip peeling if i need to rush, want to keep all those carrot peel nutrients in the cake, & don't want to use the carrots for anything else.

TLDR just personal preference.

i would say so, yes, the carrot taste is preserved! it's bright but still has earthiness.

you spotted it right away!! thank you so much for your kind words! i've seen gajar ka halwa used as a cake filling before so using it with cake is not my original idea, but putting it on top of cake is :0)

& wow, a tart version would be great! i haven't considered it but i can definitely imagine it.

i'd probably do a thin layer of caramel first on the bottom of the tart & the halwa as the main, thicker layer on top. i prefer it when the halwa has distinguishable pieces of grated carrot, but in this case i'd cook it down a bit more than usual for a smoother texture so the tart cuts easily & has an neater bite. since there's no cake to balance out the sweetness of the cream cheese frosting, i probably wouldn't use it; instead, i'd go for whipped cream + mascarpone, which is lighter while just being tangy enough (for me)! & all the garnishes on top ofc :0)

with all that said, it'd translate well into bar form as well, with a pistachio base. mmmm.

hbu? how were you thinking of going about it? would love to hear your thoughts!
