Beetroot and Dark Chocolate Custard Ice Cream

Inspired by techniques from Serious Eats.

Custard ice cream · Beet · French

Our vanilla custard with a twist: cooked beetroot is simmered in the dairy and blended smooth, then cocoa, orange zest and shaved dark chocolate take the place of vanilla. Earthy, chocolatey and a stunning colour.
