Beet Parfait

Yeak, beets again! Actually, I did not want to bring any recipe with beets in April, but then I just had to preapre the beet parfait. And the leftover blood oranges also needed to be used, so those ended up as a sorbet. Ah yeah, and the leftover candied beet chips, well they just had to be used as decoration once again.


I had the idea to prepare raspberry fruit leather, but I forgot to buy frozen berries, so I almost had to forget the idea to serve the sorbet piped into fruit leather. But luckily, I had a mango in the fridge, so I decided to use that for the fruit leather.


The bottom layer of the dessert is just an ordinary brownie, simply because I wanted to bake brownies, so I decided to combine them, after all beet and chocolate is always great together.
