Place the beets in a pan of boiling water and bring back to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes until soft.<\/p>\n<p>Drain, reserving a small glass of the liquid. Allow the beets to cool, then peel. Liquidise in a blender until a pur\u00e9e-like consistency, then transfer the beet pulp to a large mixing bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Mix the oil, syrup and chocolate with the beet and stir thoroughly until combined.<\/p>\n<p>In a separate bowl, whisk the aquafaba with an electric whisk for 4 minutes until thick and glossy. Whisk in the sugar for 30 seconds, then fold the mixture into the beet. Add the rose oil (just a drop or two is needed if you are using the purest oil) and salt, then mix in the cornstarch and baking powder.<\/p>\n<p>Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes, or until set on top. Turn the oven down to 350\u00baF and cook for an additional 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, scatter half of the desiccated coconut on another baking pan lined with baking parchment and sprinkle over 2 teaspoons of the reserved beet cooking water. Mix briefly then turn the oven down to 200\u00baF and bake for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Cut the brownie into squares and sprinkle with the dyed purply-pink coconut and the remaining white desiccated coconut.
