Step 1: Prepare the carrots.
- Chop carrots into small pieces. For easier blending, lightly steam them for 5 minutes; otherwise, raw carrots work fine with a strong blender.

Step 3: Blend until smooth.
- Blend until you have a smooth or slightly textured purée. Add a splash more water if it's too thick.
Step 4: Fill molds.
- Pour the mixture into silicone ice cube trays or treat molds. Use a spatula to help guide thicker purée into the molds.
Step 5: Freeze.
- Place molds on a flat tray and freeze for 3â4 hours, or until fully solid.
Step 6: Remove and store.
- Pop out the frozen cubes and transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.
