Hi Friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as dessert goes, carrot cake can be a bit of a polarizing topic, am I right? First of all, are you willing to eat a dessert with vegetables in it? Do you like nuts? How do you feel about raisins? What about coconut?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s a lot to unpack there and everyone’s entitled to their opinion, but it’s MY opinion that you should give these no bake carrot cake cream cheese bars a try!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carrot Cake Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s be clear that these bars are not a replacement for actual carrot cake. If that’s what you want, try this incredibly moist carrot cake<\/a> or this carrot cake recipe<\/a>. But if you’re looking for an alternative, these bars may be the answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re made with a simple crust of nuts, dates, carrots and spices and then topped with a mix of cream cheese and Greek yogurt for an easy frosting. If you’re feeling wild, you can add some shredded coconut on top!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not a fan so I opted for a sprinkle of cinnamon and some shredded carrots. You could also put some chopped nuts on top or mix them into the frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n
