Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium beet, peeled and boiled until tender (about 1/2 cup pureed)
  • 1 cup (170g) dark chocolate chips, plus extra for coating
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Beet Puree:
    Peel and boil the beet until it is soft (about 30 minutes). Once cooked, let it cool and blend it into a smooth puree. You’ll need about 1/2 cup of beet puree for the truffles.
  • Melt the Dark Chocolate:
    In a heatproof bowl, melt 1 cup of dark chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments. Stir until fully melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Make the Truffle Filling:
    In a large bowl, mix the beet puree, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth.
    Gradually fold in the melted chocolate until everything is evenly combined.
  • Chill the Mixture:
    Place the truffle mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This will make it easier to roll into balls.
  • Form the Truffles:
    Once the mixture is firm, use your hands or a melon baller to roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Dip the Truffles:
    Melt additional dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
    Dip one truffle at a time into the melted chocolate, coating it thoroughly. Use a fork to lift the truffle out and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Return to the parchment-lined sheet. Repeat for all truffles.
  • Chill Again:
    Place the dipped truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to harden.
  • Serve and Enjoy:
    These fudgy, beet-infused truffles are rich, chocolatey, and a delightful treat with a secret ingredient!

Notes

  • You can substitute the heavy cream with a dairy-free option like coconut cream for a vegan version.
  • Feel free to sprinkle some sea salt on top for a sweet-salty contrast.
