Make your pie crust 😉 Typically a regular pie crust is used, but the rebel I am made me go with graham this time. I think this was a great choice.

Combine all the pie dry ingredients in a bowl (small to medium is fine)

Mix the dry thoughly

In a larger bowl, cream the butter with the sugar

Add an egg and mix it in, don't over mix.

Shred your carrots, this is the size I used, 2

I just used my food processor to shred them, gave me just a hair over 1 cup.

Fold the carrots into the filling

Carefully place the filling in the crust, it's thick, even out without damaging your crust. Place in oven for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with but a few crumbs.

Let cool, then refrigerate. It's best to do the topping with it really cold.

In a bowl, mix cream cheese and butter together

Add vanilla and sugar, mix

Add heavy cream

Mix until stiff

Now you can get fancy and use a pastry bag, and make rows, or, just spread out on top

This is a little on the sweet side, so smaller pieces are suggested.
