How to cook Sweets "Cherry"

Step 1

Wash the beets, peel and grate on a fine grater.

Put the beets on cheesecloth and squeeze out the juice.

Step 3

Grind cookies and nuts (any nuts, I have cashews) with a blender.

Step 4

Add softened butter and milk. Mix everything well.

Roll the balls from this mixture (I have 23 grams each). It turned out 11 pieces.

Step 6

Squeeze a few drops of lemon juice into beetroot juice and mix well.

Dip the balls completely in the juice, turning them there several times. But do not leave for a long time - they will get wet!

Step 8

Then roll each ball in sugar.

Step 9

Put the blanks in the refrigerator so that the oil freezes and grabs the “cherries”.
