Ingredients
  

  • 300 g grated carrots
  • 150 g all-purpose flour
  • 120 g brown sugar
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 120 ml coconut milk
  • 100 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 50 g coconut flakes, toasted for garnish optional
  • Whipped cream for serving optional

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie dish
  • Cheese grater
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer or whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Baking parchment
  • Food processor for finer carrot texture

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until combined.
  3. Add the eggs, coconut milk, and vanilla extract to the carrot mixture. Beat using an electric mixer, or whisk until evenly blended.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Pour the pie batter into the prepared pie dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The pie should be firm to touch and lightly golden on top.
  8. Allow the pie to rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
  9. Garnish with toasted coconut flakes before serving, and enjoy!

Notes

If you're looking to switch things up, feel free to substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
You can also add a pinch of cardamom or allspice for an extra kick!
This pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days and also reheats beautifully in the oven.
Enjoy your time baking, and don’t hesitate to get creative with your garnishes or serve it with a scoop of your favorite ice cream!
