Ingredients
  

1 cup finely grated carrots (about 2 medium-sized carrots)

1 cup crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/4 tsp ground ginger

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (for coating)

Instructions
 

Prep the Carrots: Start by peeling and finely grating the carrots. You should get about one cup of grated carrots. Set aside.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, drained crushed pineapple, applesauce, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture is well blended.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until combined. If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

        Form Bites: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon, scoop out small portions of the carrot cake batter and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the batter is used.

          Freeze Until Firm: Place the baking sheet with the carrot cake bites in the freezer for about 2 hours, or until the bites are frozen solid.

            Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: While the bites are freezing, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and creamy. Once the bites are frozen, use a piping bag or a small spatula to top each bite with a dollop of the cream cheese mixture.

              Coat with Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip each cream-topped carrot cake bite into the melted chocolate, coating completely, and return them to the baking sheet.

                Final Freeze: Place the chocolate-coated bites back into the freezer for an additional 30 minutes to set the chocolate.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once set, remove from the freezer and let sit for a minute before serving. These frozen carrot cake cream bites can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.
