A few simple steps

Let’s make something good.

Follow the updated ingredient weights and your swap notes above. The method keeps the original ingredient names; chilling and cooking times are guidance.

01
Use the cooked, cooled beet puree amount from the ingredient list. To prepare it from fresh beet, roast the trimmed beet wrapped in foil at 200°C / 400°F until tender, about 45–60 minutes depending on size. Cool, peel, puree and weigh the amount needed.
02
Blend beet puree with soaked cashews, cocoa powder, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt until completely smooth.
03
Chill the mixture 20 minutes to firm up slightly for easier rolling.
04
Roll into your chosen number of small balls, about 1 tbsp each.
05
Roll each truffle in desiccated coconut to coat; chill 10 more minutes before serving.
