Chocolate Amaretto Bites (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 8 tsp amaretto or any almond liqueur.
02 - 2 tbsp of pure maple syrup.
03 - 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.
04 - 5 tbsp almond milk or 4 tbsp coconut cream.
05 - 125g of 70% dark chocolate, broken into smaller chunks.
06 - Two small beets, or substitute with beetroot powder.
07 - A handful of chopped almonds if you like crunch.

# Instructions:

01 - If you're using fresh beets, slice them thin, dry them in the oven for 2 hours at 175°F, then grind them down until they become powdery.
02 - Smash your chocolate bar into smaller bits. Finely chop up the remaining chunks.
03 - Put the chocolate pieces and cream into a heatproof bowl over simmering water. Heat gently without stirring.
04 - Whisk the warm chocolate and cream together. Stir in the maple syrup, coconut oil, and amaretto, one ingredient at a time.
05 - Toss in the nuts if you're using them. Cover the mixture and leave it in the fridge for a few hours, or even overnight, until it gets firm.
06 - Scoop out portions, shape them into balls with your hands, and roll them in the beet powder till coated.

# Notes:

01 - Coconut cream makes the texture smoother.
02 - Swap beet powder with raspberry for a different twist.
03 - Store them in the fridge until you're ready to enjoy.
