How to Make Carrot Mousse
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a shallow 2-quart baking dish with butter.
- Peel and boil 1 lb carrots until tender. Drain well and mash until completely smooth.
- In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in 1 cup apple juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring continuously. Remove from heat.
- Stir in the mashed carrots until well combined. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley. Sprinkle evenly over the carrot mixture.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the mousse is bubbling and lightly browned on top.
