Instructions
- Take all the dry ingredients for the brownie in a mixing bowl.
- Give it good stir .
- Pour the wet ingredients into the same bowl. Whisk it up to get a homogeneous mixture. It should get to a easy flowing consistency. If it seems too thick, add a few more teaspoons of the beet water.
- Line a 8" X 8" inch square baking tray with a baking sheet.
- Place the baking tray in a preheated oven (180 degrees celsius). Bake at the same temperature for 15 mins.
- At the same time, take the dark chocolate, vanilla essence, coconut butter and beet water in a double boiler. The water should be hot and not boiling.
- Slowly melt the chocolate. When it is halfway melted, remove it from the double boiler, and give it a stir which allows it to melt completely.
- Once the brownies are just about warm to touch, pour the melted chocolate over them .
- Place in the fridge for 2 hours to cool down.
- Remove and cut into 2" X 2" squares ( total 16 nos ). Serve.
Notes
For making beetroot puree, i peel and cut each beet into two. Place in a pressure cooker with 1 cup water . Cook for 2-3 whistles.
Allow steam to escape before opening lid. Let it cool down completely.
Chop and put the cooked beets in a blender along with a few teaspoons of water. Blend into a smooth puree.
