Carrot "Cake" Tea Sandwiches

Queen of Everything's Note:

The taste of carrot cake without baking. A fresh little sandwich to serve with tea or as a snack. Very much enjoyed by my toddler.

These were a big hit at my Girls Martini party, I cut them out with little heart cutouts

I made these for a tea party for my 4 & 5 year old. The 5 year old loved them, the 4 year doesn't like cream cheese. I made them again for a party for adults and they were a huge hit. Very good and easy to make. I usually add more than 1 cup of carrots and I squeeze out most of the moisture before adding it to the cream cheese.
