Ingredients
Beetroot Mixture
- 1/4 cup Beetroot pureed
- 1/4 cup Jaggery
- 3 tbsp Custard Powder vanilla flavored
- 2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
Garnish
- 2 tbsp Chocolate Shavings
- Sprinkles multi-color
Instructions
- Pressure cook the chopped beetroot with a little water for 3 whistles, or until tender. This helps soften the beetroot for a smoother puree.
- Once cooled, puree the beetroot in a blender until smooth. Add a little of the reserved cooking water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the custard powder, cocoa powder, jaggery, and beetroot puree.
- Whisk in 1/2 cup of milk until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
- Stir in the vanilla extract. Ensure the mixture is thoroughly combined and lump-free before heating.
- In a saucepan, heat the remaining 1 cup of milk over medium heat. Bring the milk to a gentle simmer.
- Slowly pour the beetroot mixture into the simmering milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Reduce the heat to low and continue whisking until the pudding thickens. This constant whisking ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
- Once the pudding thickens and coats the back of a spoon, stir in the chocolate shavings. The pudding should be glossy and pull away from the sides of the pan.
- Pour the pudding into serving cups. Garnish with colorful sprinkles. Chill for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- Adjust the amount of jaggery (1/4 cup is a starting point) to your preference.
- Corn flour can be used as a substitute for custard powder.
- The jaggery may make the pudding slightly gooey.
- For a smoother texture, roast or steam the beetroot before pureeing and strain it through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Enhance the chocolate flavor by adding dark chocolate chips while the pudding is still warm.
- Create a vegan version by using thick coconut or almond milk and plant-based custard powder.
Expert Tips
- If using fresh beetroot, wear gloves while handling it to avoid staining your hands.
- For a more intense beetroot flavor, add a teaspoon of beetroot powder along with the puree.
- Serve the pudding in chilled glasses or bowls for a refreshing treat.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover pudding in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
