I saw the title above on lovefoodeat blog and I immediately thought of Minnie's chocolate pie in the novel The Help and said to myself "Oh, I hope this recipe doesn't have Minnie's secret ingredient."
Peel and boil beets till soft and blend it into a smooth puree. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler till smooth. Turn off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes. Now add the beet puree and mix well.
Pour this chocolate beet mixture into the prepared pie crust and smoothen the surface with a flat spoon. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours till it completely sets. If you want it to be not too soft you can even put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes till it hardens a little.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream or eat it plain.
*Good recipe for you vegetarian friends.
