From wikipedia:
Carrot pudding is a dish traditional to a wide range of cultures around the world. It can be served either as a savoury pudding (as an accompaniment to a regular meal) or as a sweet dessert.
In The Oxford Companion to Food, writer Alan Davidson believes that carrots were used in Europe to make sweet cakes. These were a predecessor to the carrot cake. Because sweeteners were rationed during the Second World War carrot pudding was seen as an alternative in the UK. Later on, carrot cake was seen as a 'health food'.
In Punjab, India, carrot pudding is called Gajar ka Halwa. Carrot pudding has been served in Ireland since at least the 18th century.It was also served in the United States as long ago as 1876.

does it have a strong carrot taste?

[myvirginkitchen]

@MonicaLee1995 yeah there's a bit of a kick to it for sure, but the carrot feel is still there but just a lot softer / mushier
