Put the butter in a saucepan and let it melt, add the grated carrots and cook for about 2-5 minutes.
Add the cream and jam, stir and let the mixture simmer again over low heat. Remove the saucepan from the hob, stir in the chocolate (chop it up a little beforehand) and let it melt. Stir in the almonds and cinnamon.
Place small heaps of the carrot mixture with two teaspoons on baking paper and refrigerate for about 1 hour. (Makes almost 50 piles)
For the cast:
Break the chocolate into small pieces and melt in a small saucepan in a double boiler over low heat. Dip the carrot pralines into the chocolate with the help of a fork and allow to drain on a wire rack and allow the topping to set.
Put carrot pralines in a well-sealable tin and chill.
