Steemit Iron Chef 2018 Act 02 Round 7 | Cardamom Chocolate Beet Pudding with Coconut Cream
Good day my fellow Iron Chef enthusiasts! I have been watching the Iron Chef competition for quite some time, quite impressed with such amazing talent.
Today, I have finally decided to dive in! It didn’t take me long to decide which creation I would be sharing today. I have had several requests for chocolate lately and when @progressivechef announced a challenge which included a favorite vegetable as a dessert, I knew just what I would make!
Chocolate Cardamom Beet Pudding with Coconut Cream!
Two of my favorite vegetables and fruits! Both so versatile!
I used
- 2 Avocados
- 1 Medium Red Beetroot
- 1/2 cup full fat canned Coconut
- 1/3 cup Raw Cocoa
- 1/2 cup Organic Maple Syrup
- 3/4 teaspoon Cardamom
- 1 tablespoon Maqui Powder
Wash and dry your beetroot. Place chopped beet in baking dish and roast in 400 degree oven for 60 minutes or until soft when you pierce with a knife. Aren’t they beautiful? The color is amazing and then the taste…..
When the beets have cooled, remove skin. Place the beets with all remaining ingredients in your blender and blend until really smooth. I have better success with creating a smoother and lighter consistency using my blender instead of a food processor. I think you’ll find the coconut cream will help you achieve an almost mousse consistency. Cover and chill at least 6 hours!
Finally, I whipped the remaining coconut cream, adding a tablespoon of Maple syrup. I refrigerated half of the whipped cream and poured the balance in silicone flower molds! I did the same with some of the Chocolate Beet pudding!
And Serve! Bon Apetite!
This is a tasty HEALTHY dessert which I think you will enjoy.
Light, not filling your guests will thank you! And the best part is, you can freeze the leftovers and have ice cream! The chocolates I shared here are made with the beet pudding and coconut cream! Straight from the freezer!
Thank you again @progressivechef for hosting this Iron Chef Challenge. Best wishes to all!
And as always, blessings to all!
Looks gorgeous welcome to the challenge!

Always a pleasure my Dear. My grandsons do love ice cream and this recipe is definetely one that could be a delicious ice cream as well 😊
This looks really good - I admire delicious recipes just made out of a few ingredients. They make it possible to still taste the flavor of each one of them!

I really like how u roast the beetroot instead of other cooking method. I believe by roasting you would intensify the flavour and sweetness of the beetroot which is great for what ur making
Your beet dessert looks great @birdsinparadise, so nice to see you here :):)
