STEPS TO MAKE CARROT LOAF
STORING AND FREEZING
– Storing: Since there is cream cheese in this loaf, you’ll need to store it in the fridge in an airtight container where it will last up to 5 days. – Freezing: Wrap the entire loaf or individual slices in plastic wrap, then in foil. Transfer the slices or wrapped loaf to a freezer safe bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 4 months.
EXPERT TIPS
– Use fresh carrots – Do not use pre-shredded carrots you’d normally find at the grocery store. These tend to be dried out and too big which throws off the texture. – Shred Carrots – Shredding your own carrots with the medium side of a box grater gives the loaf a perfect texture while retaining moisture. – Cool Completely – This carrot loaf needs to be completely cooled before serving as the loaf needs time to set before slicing, especially with it having 2 different textures.
