Ingredients
- 10½ oz oz cooked organic beetroot roasted, steamed or boiled
- ¾ cup caster sugar superfine sugar
- ½ cup water
- 2 tsp organic lemon juice
- 2 tsp organic vanilla essence
Instructions
- If using an ice-cream maker, freeze the bowl ahead of time, according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Purée the beetroot with a hand blender until smooth, then set aside.
- In a small saucepan over a medium-low heat, combine the sugar and water, stirring occasionally until completely dissolved. This could take about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to cool slightly.
- In a food processor, blend the cooled sugar syrup with the puréed beetroot, lemon juice and vanilla until smooth.
- If using an ice-cream maker, pour the cooled mixture into the pre-frozen bowl of the ice-cream maker and churn until thick, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, then either serve immediately or pour into a freezer-safe dish to store in the freezer.
- If not using an ice-cream maker, pour the cooled mixture into a large freezer-safe dish and freeze, mixing it well with a fork every half an hour over the next 4 hours. Transfer to the fridge for 15 minutes to soften before serving.
