Ingredients
For the Beetroot Puree
- 1 medium Beetroot
Instructions
Prepare the Beetroot
- Peel and grate the beetroot. Place the grated beetroot in a saucepan with 1 tablespoon of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and cook over medium heat until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, steam the beetroot until tender.
Roast the Lotus Seeds
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the lotus seeds on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and crispy. Set aside.
Make the Dessert
- In a medium saucepan, combine the milk and sugar. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to low and add the grated white chocolate. Stir until completely melted and smooth.
Combine and Cook
- Add the cooked beetroot (puree it first for a smoother texture) and roasted lotus seeds to the milk mixture. Stir well to combine. Continue to cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens slightly and the lotus seeds are soft, about 10-15 minutes. The milk should reduce slightly.
Finish and Serve
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Garnish with extra grated white chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving chilled for optimal flavor and texture.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of skim milk.
- If you don’t have an oven, you can dry roast the lotus seeds in a dry pan over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and crispy.
- Adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference and the sweetness of the beetroot.
- For a more intense beetroot flavor, roast the beetroot before grating it. This intensifies the sweetness and deepens the color.
