Method

9 steps
  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4.

  2. Step 2

    Put 100g of chocolate and all of the butter into a bowl and place it over a pan of gently simmering water to melt. Once melted, remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Step 3

    Add the vanilla extract, eggs and sugar and mix well. Then add the cocoa powder, self-raising flour and grated beetroot.

    Mix until well blended and spoon into a 24-hole silicone mini muffin tray. Bake in the oven for 20 mins until firm and well risen. Leave to cool, then remove from the tray.

  5. Step 5

    Peel the kiwis and remove the tops. Slice each kiwi into three rounds. Trim the stalks from the strawberries.

  6. Step 6

    Thread a kebab stick through one strawberry, kiwi round and brownie to create your rockets.

  7. Step 7

    Melt your remaining 50g of chocolate in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water.

    Lay the rockets on a plate. Spoon the melted chocolate into a small piping bag, then pipe a zig-zag pattern over the rocket.

    Chill until set, then enjoy.
