    copied!<p>Solved.</p> <p>My solution was to remove the {{#each}} logic from the template and replace it with a single handlebars helper expression, and pass back the needed html all at once. The html is generated from data in the cursor of the Categories collection.</p> <p>Not so sure about having all this html in my logic though -- is this bad design? If so I'll defer to a better answer. </p> <pre><code>// This is the new template &lt;template name="content"&gt; &lt;h1&gt;Categories&lt;/h1&gt; {{listCategories}} &lt;/template&gt; // Handlebars helper Handlebars.registerHelper('listCategories', function() { var parents = Categories.find({idCategoryParent:0}); var countParents = parents.count(); var string = ''; // iterate over each parent category for(m = 0; m &lt; countParents; m++){ // Get the parents category id var pId = parents.db_objects[m].idCategory; var children = Categories.find({idCategoryParent:pId}); var count = children.count(); /* * Build the Parent Category html * Example: &lt;b&gt;Movies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;ul&gt; */ string = string + '&lt;b&gt;' + parents.db_objects[m].defaultLabel + '&lt;/b&gt;&lt;ul&gt;'; // iterate over each child category for(var i = 0; i &lt; count; i++){ /* * Build the child category html * Example: &lt;li&gt;Horror&lt;/li&gt; */ string = string + '&lt;li&gt;' + children.db_objects[i]['defaultLabel'] + '&lt;/li&gt;'; } // Close up the unordered list string = string + '&lt;/ul&gt;'; } // Return the string as raw html return new Handlebars.SafeString(string); }); // Rendered out the result correctly like so: &lt;b&gt;Movies&lt;/b&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Horror&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Comedy&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Action&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Drama&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;b&gt;Music&lt;/b&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;li&gt;Rock&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Classical&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Ambient&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; </code></pre>
