Ingredients:

• 3 cups sliced carrots
• 1/3 cup water
• 1 1/2 cups frozen pineapple chunks
• 1 cup pineapple juice
• 1/2 cup skim milk
• 1/4 cup flaked coconut
• 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 3 tbsp whipped cream cheese
• 2 tsp vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract
• 1-1/2 cups low fat vanilla frozen yogurt
• Cinnamon for garnish

Method

Place carrots and water in a microwave safe container and heat on high 4-8 minutes or until carrots are soft enough to mash. Mash and let carrots cool. Place carrots and remaining ingredients in a blender or food processor and puree until well blended. Garnish with cinnamon.

Notes: Regular peeled, sliced carrots work best in this recipe, but you can use precut baby carrots. Simply increase the time in the microwave by 1-2 minutes and add another 2 tablespoons water.

Number of servings: 4
