Ingredients:
- 2 cups (480ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 can (14 oz / 397g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup (110g) carrots, peeled and finely grated
- 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp (0.5g) ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp (30g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp (2.5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Grate the carrots using the finest side of the grater. Place the shreds in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the sweetened condensed milk, squeezed carrots, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt until the mixture is a uniform orange hue.
- In a chilled large bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the carrot mixture using a spatula, stirring in a figure-eight motion until no white streaks remain.
- Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla to the cream cheese mixture, whipping until fluffy and spreadable.
- Line a 9x5 inch metal loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Pour half of the carrot ice cream base into the pan and smooth the top.
- Dollop spoonfuls of the cream cheese frosting over the surface and use a knife to swirl it into the base.
- Top with the remaining carrot ice cream base and repeat the swirling process with the remaining frosting.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.
