Crescent Carrot Appetizers

More About This Recipe

• These Easter carrots are fun to make and eat! Easter is such a fun holiday to get creative with your food – you can transform savory and sweet treats into bunnies, chicks, lambs, flowers, eggs, and even carrots. Years ago I created a bunch of Crescent Roll Carrots which I filled with egg salad and ham salad to serve for an Easter brunch. I shared the recipe on my blog, and it continues to be one of my most popular ideas! I thought it would be fun this Easter to make some more crescent roll carrots and fill them with something sweet instead. Since the carrots are shaped on cream horn forms, it was logical to actually turn the carrots into cream horns. The cream filling I created is super easy; it's simply a combination of Betty Crocker™ Whipped White Frosting and whipped topping. The filling on its own is quite sweet, but when stuffed inside a crescent roll carrot, it's just sweet enough to make a nice dessert or breakfast treat for Easter. You'll need a set of 8 metal cream horn forms. They're inexpensive and can be found at kitchenware stores. In a pinch, you can wrap sugar cones (ice cream cones) with non-stick tin foil. I like the metal forms better because the heat is more evenly distributed, but either will work. You'll also need orange liquid food coloring or a combination of yellow and red. You can use the grocery store variety or all-natural food coloring. These carrots are really fun to make and will make your Easter table festive and sweet.
