Among root vegetables, beets is not sufficient as the middle child with love and appreciation. Think of some other plants of the same family or relatives. Potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots are almost enjoyed all over the world, while burdock and genseng known for its medical applications. However, when it comes to beets, do not seem to worry many people too much of their flavor or health benefits. So I decided to give this middle child some love and use it as an essential part of my dessert. Some people add the turnip cakes and muffins, but I do not feel like baking today. Instead, I'm a frozen dessert of sugar, which is lighter, healthier and low in calories. There is also a very delicate dessert-looking with beautiful contrasts of textures and colors. I know that the idea may sound unpleasant desserts for some of you, but if you try to give this recipe a healthy parfait, you like candy beets will be surprised, perhaps.
