7. Frost the Bars:
Once the carrot cake bars have cooled completely, spread a generous layer of the cream cheese frosting over the top. Be sure to cover the entire surface of the bars for maximum indulgence.
8. Cut and Serve:
Using a sharp knife, cut the bars into squares or rectangles. Garnish with extra chopped walnuts or pecans if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
Tips for Success:
- Fresh Carrots: Freshly grated carrots will give your bars the best flavor and texture. Avoid pre-packaged shredded carrots, as they tend to be drier and won’t provide the same moistness.
- Add-ins: Feel free to get creative with the add-ins! You can stir in raisins, coconut flakes, or even chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
- Storage: These carrot cake bars keep well in an airtight container at room temperature for about 3-4 days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to a week. If you’re storing them for longer, consider freezing them for up to 3 months—just be sure to freeze them before frosting.
- Frosting Tip: For an extra smooth frosting, make sure both the cream cheese and butter are at room temperature before mixing. This will ensure the frosting is lump-free and creamy.
Serving Suggestions:
- Coffee Pairing: These bars pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea. The spiced flavors of the carrot cake complement the rich, smooth taste of coffee or a light, herbal tea.
- For Parties: Carrot cake bars are perfect for parties, potlucks, and family gatherings. They are easy to cut and serve, making them a great alternative to a traditional layered cake.
- Garnish Options: For a more festive touch, you can garnish the bars with toasted coconut flakes, candied ginger, or a sprinkling of cinnamon on top of the frosting.
