I was blown away by the creamy sauce.

The classic French dish is made with carrots, heavy cream, butter, and fresh herbs.

The recipe is broken into two parts and takes about an hour to put together.

What Makes Julia’s Creamed Carrot Recipe Special?

This recipe is a heavenly combination of sweetcooked carrotsand a savory herb cream sauce.

This isn’t where you’ll find crisp carrots.

They’re fall-apart tender.

Cooking them this way brings out their natural sweetness, and the creamy sauce balances it all out.

It’s so much more elegant tasting than the time or effort it takes to make the dish.

The Verdict on Creamed Carrots

This recipe has completely changed how I feel about cooked carrots.

Before trying Julia’s recipe, I often foundcooked carrotswatery and bland.

These are rich and luscious with just the right amount of sweetness.
