Ivana’s note
Moisture Balance: If your freshly grated carrots are extremely juicy, pat them lightly with a paper towel before adding them to the food processor so the base stays dense and chewy rather than soft.
Storage: Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze the unfrosted sliced bars for up to 2 months.
