Bloody Beet Bowls
Decadent White Chocolate and Beet Pudding nestled in White and Dark Chocolate cups and drizzled with “bloody” beet puree and melted chocolate make for some interesting Halloween Bloody Beet Bowls!
When I ask my daughter to help me with the dishes, she manages to slip out of the kitchen as quickly as the first 9 months of 2015 slipped by. Sometimes she will send one of our dogs into the kitchen with a message taped to them that says: “I’d lick those dishes cleaner than Lil Shashi could wash them.” But when she realizes that I am working with beets, I cannot seem to get her out of the kitchen.
My daughter loves eating beets, but – she loves playing with pureed beets even more (and SHE wonders why I sometimes mistake her for being 6 not 16)! She uses the puree and juice to make some bloody, grotesque “cuts” on herself, which she then photographs and sends to her friends. Of course, they flip out and start flooding all our phones! Beet puree and juice can be pretty gory looking (…”and tasting” is what I bet you beet-haters are probably thinking); so come Halloween time, beets are roasted and pureed by the dozen in our home.
Recently, when the opportunity to work with Chocoley’s Bada Bing Bada Boom Candy & Molding Chocolate presented itself, I figured beets would have to be incorporated somehow. Now, I’ve made beet cakes and beet brownies and other beet treats, and seeing I am not the most skilled decorator, I figured I would come up with something different and simple. Since I love my silicone cupcake and silicone body part molds, I figured I would make some chocolate cups and some chocolate fingers. And, as I watched my daughter slather puree all over her arm, the idea to make beet and white chocolate pudding popped into my head.
The pudding only contains 4 ingredients: beet puree, white chocolate, a smidge of dark chocolate, and coconut milk. If you are not a huge fan of beets no worries as the chocolate balances off that distinct beet taste. I drizzled these Bloody Beet Bowls liberally with melted Chocoley Chocolate. I also used beet puree and juice and some coconut oil to make the “gory” dripped toppings. When the coconut oil cooled into white specs, my daughter said it almost looked like there was “flesh” mixed in with the “blood”. Yup – Happy (early) Halloween Y’all!
Ingredients
- *I roasted my beets for 45 minutes in a 375-degree oven and then puréed them. The puréed beets will stay fresh in an airtight glass container for about 3-4 weeks. I used this purée to make these Blood Beet Bowls.
WHITE CHOCOLATE AND BEET PUDDING
- 3 tablespoons beet purée
- 2 tablespoons coconut milk
- 2/3 cup Chocoley White Chocolate
- 1 tablespoon Chocoley Dark Chocolate
BEET SYRUP OR “DRIPPINGS”

Instructions
- WHITE CHOCOLATE AND BEET PUDDING
- Add the coconut milk to a pan over low heat, add in the white chocolate and stir till melted
- Add in the beet puree and dark chocolate and stir well and remove from heat as soon as everything is melted.
- This pudding will firm up to a more pudding consistency as it cools
- BEET SYRUP OR "DRIPPINGS"
- Melt the coconut oil in a pan over a low flame, then add in the beets and sugar and mix well
- ASSEMBLY
- I melted 1 cup Chocoley's Bada Bing Bada Boom Candy & Molding White Chocolate and coated 2 silicone cups with it as well as poured some into a few of the finger molds and inserted a spoon into the finger mold cavities.
- I did the same with the dark chocolate and then placed them in the freezer to firm up.

Thanks so much Lorraine!
These look so pretty! I mean, I know they’re probably not meant to look that way, being for halloween and all, but they just do!
I will always offer my assistance to happily stand in and wash the dishes if your daughter won’t for any of your other recipes too.
Might be a bit pricey for me to get there not to mention the length of time you might have to wait, though 😉
Hahaha! Neil – you are too kind my friend, to offer to fly all the way over the pond! I sure do appreciate your kindness though! And thanks so much – it was so much fun working on these – when I made the pudding, I thought it was just such a pretty color too!
These beet bowls look perfect Shashi! You definitely inspire me to experiment more with beets! Not to mention purple is one of my favorite colors! Pinning!
Thanks so much Mira! I adore working with beets – perfect natural coloring right? 🙂
What a cool idea for halloween! Bets stain horribly and if I was the assigned dish washer I would be running in the opposite direction too. LOL
Hahaha – too funny Bobbi – I wonder what my daughter’s excuse is when pumpkin is involved! 🙂
BTW Thanks so much
I always thought beets were just for salads until I made myself a beet smoothie the other day! And now I know they can be a sweet treat! Love this recipe!
Thanks so much Katie! Beets so rock – don’t they?! 🙂
Now those would be such a great Halloween treat, they are beautiful and you could almost call them health food!! You are the beet whisperer.
Aww shucks – thanks so much Suzanne!
Dear Shashi, You are so clever. You and your daughter. Looks like you had a world of fun. AND made some pretty awesome tasting snacks. Perfect for the season!!! And I’m going to start calling you the Beet Lady. Or the Beet Queen. Your Beet Highness for short. xoxo
Hahaha – well, if I’m the “Beet Lady” or the “Beet Queen” – then you are the “Lemon Lady” and the “Blueberry Baroness” and the “Chocolate charmer” and the “Maple Madam” … I could go on and on Allie! xoxo
🙂
