This carrot cake ice cream is creamy, tastes exactly like carrot cake, and you don’t need an ice cream maker! It’s no churn and is full of that warm, fragrant, carrot flavour that a carrot cake has. I added golden oreos and toasted pecans but you can add chocolate chips, raisins, and/or walnuts if you prefer.

Combine shredded carrots, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg in a small saucepan. Cook on medium-low and cook until carrots are soft and mixture is fragrant. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to help it cook down. This will take about 5 minutes. Stir frequently so it doesn’t burn. Set aside to cool.
