Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

For the Beet filling
  • 1 cup raw beetroot, grated
  • 0.33333333333333 cup sugar (or other sweetening agents)
  • 4 tbsp coconut milk (or regular milk/water)
For the Voodoo dolls
  • 1 package of puff pastry (2 sheets) - I use Peperidge Farms
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Milk wash ( substitute with regular milk )

Method
 

  1. Thaw the puff pastry according to package instructions, but only until it's pliable enough to open up without breaking/cracking. The voodoo dolls are best cut out while still firm (not hard).
Make the filling
  1. Heat a small pan and add beets and coconut milk. Cover and cook until soft.
  2. Uncover, add sugar and keep stirring over medium heat until all the liquid cooks off and you get a fairy 'dry' mixture. Let cool completely and divide into 6 parts. Set aside.
Make the Voodoo Dolls
  1. Use a gingerbread cookie cutter (or the provided printable template) and cut out dolls from the two pastry sheets. I used the 3.6" template and got 12 dolls.
  2. Transfer to a wire rack and roll them out slightly thin using a rolling pin, one at a time.
  3. Spread the beet filling on 6 of the rolled out pastry dolls and sandwich with the other 6.
  4. Cut out eyes, mouth and other details using a small knife. Pinch edges close best you can.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C. Line a medium baking tray with parchment paper.
  6. Brush tops with milk - for that gorgeous brown shade as it bakes.
Bake!
  1. Bake at 400°F/200°C for 15-20 minutes until golden brown, puffed and crisp.
  2. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving hot! If storing, cool completely before transferring to an air-tight container. If it gets soft with storage, reheat in a 350°F/180°C for about 5 minutes.
