Please do not throw away that carrot pulp.

After making the carrot juice ( in our yesterday’s post Here),

the pulp was squeezed alittle

to remove more of the juice

and then the pulp was added

to make this carrot and

ice cream cupcakes.

INGREDIENTS

288g  granulated sugar

250g butter

528g self raising flour

6 fresh eggs- large

458 g  soft creamy ice-cream (flavour of choice)

6 fresh carrots; large

EQUIPMENTS

Sieve

Electric mixer

Juice extractor

Scale

Cupcake cases

Cupcake baking tray

Oven: temperature 150 degree celcius

jug

 INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: To clean the carrots, scrape the carrots with the potato peeler.

(this prevents your carrot juice from discolouring)

STEP 2: Following your  juice extractor manufacturer’s

instructions and put your carrot.

STEP 3: place sieve on top of the jug

while the juice is being collected into the jug)
