    Grilled Carrot Bread Dessert Sandwiches

    A delicious combination of carrot bread and pineapple cream cheese dredged in an egg wash and grilled.

    Grilled Carrot Bread Dessert Sandwiches are a simple but fun treat that can be made ahead and grilled up just before serving.

    I love carrot cake with pineapple cream cheese frosting. And I love grilled cheese sandwiches. And French Toast is pretty amazing too. So I combined them all into this easy dessert. YUM!

    Instead of Carrot Cake, I made some mini Carrot Bread loaves with half all purpose flour and half whole wheat. You could make regular sized loaves, but I wanted mini versions for this. My son and I regularly toast up the carrot bread and slather on some cream cheese when I make it.

    But, this time I went even further and added some crushed pineapple and a bit of powdered sugar to the cream cheese, then dunked the sandwiches in a milk egg combo and grilled them up like French toast. Top it off with more pineapple and a sprinkle (or twelve) of powdered sugar and this heavenly dessert was done.

    If you want to serve it for a special occasion just make everything ahead except the final heating.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 loaf carrot bread (recipe below)
    • 8 ounces crushed pineapple
    • 8 ounces cream cheese
    • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (plus more for serving)
    • 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 1 large egg
    • ½ cup milk

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare the carrot bread ahead of time. When cool, thinly slice with a bread knife.
    • Drain the pineapple, reserving the juices.
    • In a small bowl, mix 2-3 tablespoons crushed pineapple and into the cream cheese. Thin to spreading consistency with reserved juice. Add 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, to taste. Don't worry too much if the mixture is a little lumpy.
    • Spread the cream cheese mixture on half of the pieces of bread then top with another slice of bread.
    • Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
    • In a shallow bowl large enough to fit the sandwiches, whisk together egg and milk.
    • Place sandwiches in the egg mixture and let soak about 30 seconds each side.
    • Grill the sandwiches until golden brown and the center is heated, about 2-3 minutes a side.
    • Cut into triangles and place on serving plate(s). Place a tablespoon of powdered sugar into a sifter or small sieve and sprinkle on top. Serve with additional crushed pineapple.
