Instructions

Once your pre-baked carrot cake is at room temperature after baking, crumble the entire cake into a large mixing bowl. You should not see any large pieces of cake in the bowl.

Ingredients you will need

Carrot

Equipment you will use

Mixing Bowl

Add about 1 cup of the frosting to the bowl, and mix well with the crumbled cake, using the back of a metal spoon, until thoroughly combined. If the mixture is easy to handle and form into balls, you do not need to add the rest of the frosting; however, if it is still somewhat crumbly, add the rest and mix until incorporated.

Equipment you will use

Baking Sheet

Using a double boiler, melt half of your candy coating over low heat, stirring occasionally, until it is smooth and completely melted. Note: You want to melt only half of the mixture at one time, because if you melt it all at once, the mixture may begin to harden before you've dipped all of your truffles.
