Add the quick oats, chopped walnuts, finely grated carrots, shredded coconut, and raisins to a large bowl and stir to combine. You could use a food processor to chop the walnuts with the S blade and shred the carrots with the shredding blade. Or you could chop and shred manually with a knife and box grater, respectively.
Add the tahini, maple syrup, and spices, and mix some more to thoroughly combine.
Line an 8x8 inch dish with parchment paper and pour in the mixture. Spread and press down the mixture with the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten. Place in the freezer while you prepare the frosting.
Rinse and drain the soaked cashews. Add to a blender with the remaining frosting ingredients. Blend for about a minute until completely smooth and no longer grainy.
Remove the dish from the freezer and pour the frosting over the carrot cake mixture and spread it with a spoon or spatula into an even layer.
Place back in the freezer for 30 minutes (up to 4 hours) to firm up. Cut into squares, and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
