There is a story behind this dessert. When I started feeding my son with solid food, I made great efforts to introduce him a variety of vegetables. He ended up hating vegetables. Then, I started inventing food that is hiding vegetables so that he would eat hidden vegetables without knowing it. This ‘Carrot Jelly’ is one of them but my son didn’t enjoy it at all. He hated oranges so he didn’t like orange-colour food.

I have made it for the first time in a long time. This time I added extra Sugar and Grand Marnier for flavour. Grand Marnier is orange-flavoured liquor, so this is an alcoholic dessert only for grown-ups.
