- 5 large carrots
- 1½ cups almond, rice or oat milk
- 1 cup canned coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/16 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/16 teaspoon ground cloves
- dash salt
- ¼ cup raisins
- ¼ cup pistachios roasted and unsalted
Wash, peel and shred carrots.
Pour milk into a medium saucepan, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add carrots to pan; simmer 20 minutes.
After milk begins to thicken and take on an orange color from carrots, add butter or coconut oil and honey to pan. Stir until butter has melted; then add cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt. Toss in raisins; stir to combine. Continue to simmer 10 minutes, or until more of the milk has evaporated and carrots are very soft. Remove pan from heat.
Top with pistachios; serve warm or cold.
