Grandpa's Carrot Pie Recipe

We had some extra carrots so Grandpa decided to make us a carrot pie. Grandpa says you can also use the same recipe to make a sweet potato pie. Just switch the carrots for sweet potatoes, mjau!

Base:

200 g Digestive biscuits or other cookies; for example Oreos

60 g melted butter

Crush the biscuits to small crumbs using a mixer or by hand. Add the melted butter.

Press the mixture firmly down into the base of the tin.

Filling:

600 g carrots

30 g butter

2 eggs

2 dl sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoon cinnamon

(1 teaspoon ginger, optional)

Wash and peel the carrots. Cut the carrots to smaller pieces and boil until soft.

 Mash the carrots until smooth and let cool down a little bit.

Mix in the butter and the lightly whisked eggs.

Mix the sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and ginger. Add it to the carrot mixture. 

Pour the filling in the prepared tin with the digestive base.

Bake for 45-60 minutes in 175 °C.

Enjoy the pie!
