Carrot Dessert Ball Calories

To make carrot dessert balls, cook grated carrots with sugar until soft, then let the mixture cool. Stir in crushed biscuits until it holds together, roll portions into balls, and coat them with coconut before chilling.

Yes, carrot dessert balls can be frozen in a sealed container. Thaw them in the refrigerator before serving; if the coconut coating looks damp afterward, roll the balls in a fresh layer of coconut.

Carrot dessert balls contain carrots, but they are still a sweet made with added sugar and biscuits. Enjoying a small serving can fit into an overall balanced diet, but the carrots do not make them equivalent to a vegetable snack.
