Ingredients
  

For the Carrot Cake Base:

2 cups finely grated carrots (about 3 medium carrots)

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup crushed walnuts or pecans (optional)

For the Frozen Yogurt Topping:

2 cups plain Greek yogurt (or any flavored yogurt you prefer)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust based on yogurt sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup finely shredded coconut (optional)

1/4 cup raisins (optional, for added texture)

Instructions
 

Prepare Carrot Cake Base:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch square baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

      - In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated carrots, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix until well combined.

        - In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. If using, fold in nuts.

          - Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once done, allow it to cool completely in the dish.

            Make Frozen Yogurt Topping:

              - In a medium bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and smooth. You can taste and adjust the sweetness according to your preference.

                - If desired, fold in shredded coconut and raisins for extra flavor and texture.

                  Assemble the Squares:

                    - Once the carrot cake base is completely cool, spread the yogurt mixture evenly over the carrot cake layer using a spatula.

                      - Place the dish in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or until the yogurt topping is firm.

                        Cut and Serve:

                          - Once frozen, remove the dish from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-10 minutes to soften slightly.

                            - Using a sharp knife, cut into squares. Serve immediately or store any leftovers in the freezer, tightly covered.
