One of my most loved creations from 2023 Raw collection. The balsamic vinegar adds a nice tangy dimension to sweet beets, and creates a complementary flavor with chocolate.
INGREDIENTS
120 g dried raisins soaked
100 g raw chopped beetroot
40 ml balsamic vinegar
20 g raw cacao powder
55 g desiccated coconut
90 g almond flour
20 g cold press coconut oil melted from Pureness
4-5 drops reishi extract from Pureness
1/4 tsp pink himalayan salt from Rivsalt + more as needed ( taste before shaping, to add more dimension add a little bit more salt if you need)
For dipping
150 g melted raw chocolate from Wermlands
Freeze dried lingonberry powder to sprinkle, from Mother Earth brand, Glimja
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place balsamic and beets in a food processor. Blend together until beet is chopped into very small pieces (rice-like).
2. Then add soaked raisins and continue to blend until you get a smooth paste.
3. Add the cacao powder, desiccated coconut, almond flour, pink Himalayan salt, reishi and melted coconut oil. Blend together.
4. Transfer dough to a bowl, sit in the freezer for 30 minutes.
5. Once time is up, and the dough is thickened enough, roll the dough into small balls in desired size with your hands. Freeze for 10-15 minutes while you are melting the chocolate.
6. Melt the raw chocolate using bain marie, let it cool at room temperature for 10 minutes.
7. Remove the balls from the freezer. Dip each one in melted chocolate. Let it cool on a parchment paper.
8. Sprinkle some fd lingonberries on top.
