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
- 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. - 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. - 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.
- 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.
