GOLDEN CARROT WHIP

Steps:

• Cook carrots in boiling salted water until they are very soft. They should pierce easily with a fork, just like potatoes when you cook for mashing. This may take 30 or more minutes. Drain well.
• Place cooked carrots in mixing bowl. Add the honey or syrup and MASH WELL with a potato masher. Start with the smaller amount of sweetener and taste before adding more.
• With a mixer, whip in the cream in a slow stream. The whipped carrots will not be as smooth as whipped potatoes, but the taste will be wonderful! Taste and add salt if desired.
• When uniformly mixed, transfer carrots to serving dish. If you use a microwave-safe dish, you can make these a little ahead of time and reheat before placing on the table.
