Cooking Tips for Success
Here are a few pointers I discovered that will make your Mini Beet Cheesecake Bites turn out perfectly:
- Blend everything when they're still hot.
I tried microwaving a mixture of beet puree, lemon juice, a small amount of water, and agar agar noodles until it reached boiling point. After stirring with a spoon, I allowed the agar agar noodles to soak, soften, and completely dissolve in the mixture. Meanwhile, I slightly heated up coconut oil until it liquefied and then soaked the cashew nuts. The crucial step is ensuring all ingredients are quite heated to prevent the agar agar from setting too rapidly.
- Give the filling some extra time to set before adding it to the crust.
After blending all the ingredients, I poured the filling into an airtight container and let it chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 8 hours. After that, I used a hand blender to whip the filling, aiming to introduce air to achieve a soft, fluffy texture. The key here is all about achieving the perfect consistency.
Chef's Notes:
- Soak cashews thoroughly for a creamy texture in the filling.
- Drizzle agave syrup on top for added sweetness.
- Enhance the crust with a pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor.
