HeartBeet Brownies With Pink Frosting
50 Minutes • Servings: 12 Squares
These decadent fudgy brownies with their bright pink frosting are the perfect Valentine's Day treat. Made with red beets and the Dilettoso mix, Choc-o-lotta flavor, these healthy brownies are completely gluten-free, moist, chewy, and with a thick layer of tangy cream cheese frosting. You really can't taste the beets, but they add so much moisture, plus a hidden serving of veggies! Store frosted brownies in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Baked and cooled brownies (without frosting) can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge.
