BEETROOT & CHOCOLATE LAVA PUDDINGS

  • 1 medium beetroot, scrubbed & stem removed
  • 150g good quality dark chocolate
  • 115g unsalted butter
  • 1⁄4 cup plain flour
  • 50g caster sugar
  • 1 small pinch of salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • cocoa for dusting tin
  • vanilla ice-cream to serve
  1. Boil the beetroot whole for 40 minutes in water or until soft when tested with a skewer.
    Allow to cool slightly and rub off skin. Puree with a little of the cooking water to a fine paste
    in a food processor. Reserve 1 tbs of the puree and keep the rest on the fridge to use in
    smoothies or add to other dishes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 200C, butter a 6 hole muffin pan and dust with cocoa.
    Melt the chocolate together with the butter in a microwave or in a bowl over gently simmering
    water. Stir with a spatula until smooth and whisk in the eggs and yolks and 1 tbs of the
    beetroot puree.
  3. Add the flour mixture and whisk until just combined. Spoon even amounts of batter into each of the muffin holes and transfer to the oven.
  4. Bake for 8 – 10 minutes, they need to still be slightly gooey in the centre, if you over cook
    them you will lose the lava!

Serve with ice-cream.
