    Red Velvet Beet Chocolate Mousse

    Published: Feb 14, 2014 · Modified: Jul 31, 2020 by Kate Hackworthy · This post may contain affiliate links ·

    This red velvet beet chocolate mousse is rich and decadent. The addition of beetroot makes it naturally red velvet. It's creamy, smooth and amazing!

    This decadent chocolate mousse has an earthy addition of pureed beetroot and is a perfect treat for Valentine's Day or any day of the year.

    It's quick and easy. Just mix it all up, put into serving glasses (I like to use vintage teacups) and chill 3 hours or overnight. Easy!

    Beetroot and chocolate compliment each other so well, whether in cake, cookies or even hot chocolate.

    This rich mousse pairs with beet fabulously creating a deep, dark flavour.

    Go on, put some veg in your mousse.

    Chocolate mousse is a rich, decadent and dreamy dessert. It's so fluffy, cold and delicious.

    Adding pureed beetroot gives it a subtle earthy flavor that works so well with the deep chocolate taste and aroma. 

    Plus, this is a super-easy make-ahead dessert. Perfect for a dinner party.

    You'll also love my Cookie Cheesecake Parfait - it's easy to make and simply put together before serving. Another great make-ahead recipe. Also try my more wintery Pear and Gingerbread Parfait.
