Ingredients

75g/3oz/6tbsp butter, softened

50g/2oz/ ¼ cup caster sugar

150g/5oz/ 1 ¼ cups plain flour

finely grated rind of 1 orange

For the filling

90g/3 ½ oz/7 tbsp unsalted butter, diced

75g/3 oz/ ½ cup caster sugar

2 eggs

½ tsp almond extract

175g/6oz/1 ½ cups ground almonds

1 cooked carrot, coarsely grated

For the topping

175g/6 oz/ ¾ cup cream cheese

¾ cup caster sugar

1 tsp milk

2-3 tbsp chopped pecans

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375F. Lightly grease a 11x7in shallow baking tin. Put the butter,caster sugar, flour and orange rind into a bowl and rub together until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add water, a teaspoon at a time to mix to a firm but not sticky dough. Roll out on a lightly floured surface and use to line the base of the tin.

To make the filling, cream the butter and sugar together. Beat in the eggs and almond extract. Stir in the ground almonds and the grated carrot. Spread the mixture over the dough base and bake for about 25 minutes until firm in the center and golden brown. Leave to cool in the tin.

To make the topping, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy, add the milk and spread over the cooled filling. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Cut into bars with a sharp knife.

I'm going to have to make these, simply because I don't think I'll like them. And I can't picture you making anything I wouldn't like, so I figure if I taste them, I'll change my mind. Dammit, now I need to go buy a nut grater....and a zester, and a rolling pin, and whatever the hell caster sugar is. (I hope you're happy. lol)

chriesi 1 year, 8 months ago said:

Ahmed! I adore carrot cake, but these seem much more tastier than the norm. I have to make them........

Ha! Ha! I have to laugh after reading all your comments above, why?
because I am visualizing everyone who has commented and saying that like me they have to try them, and like me are probably piling on the pounds.
We can't resist your dessert you surely can't get any better! Can you? :-)
