Beetroots, commonly known as beets, are a vibrant and versatile type of vegetable. They’re known for their earthy flavour and aroma. Many people call them a superfood because of their rich nutritional profile.

Ingredients

2 Beets, peeled & grated
1 cup/200g Sugar, I used coconut
1 cup/250ml Water
2 Cans Coconut Milk
2 Vanila Bean Pod
1 cups/250ml Creamy Non Dairy Milk
5 heaped tbs Corn Flour (corn starch)
1/2 cup/125ml Maple Nectar

Method

  1. Add the sugar & water to a saucepan, and bring to a simmer. Stir through the grated beets then let the syrup bubble away for 15 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, add the coconut milk to a saucepan with the cardamom pods & vanilla. Place the pan over a low heat & allow the mix to infuse for 10 minutes.

  3. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the non dairy milk, with the cornflour & maple.

  4. When the coconut milk has infused, whisk in the non dairy milk mixture, then use a spatula to constantly stir the mix until it starts to thicken up.

  5. When the syrup has reduced down by around a 1/4, strain the mix through a sieve into the cream mixture. Add enough syrup to achieve the colour & beet flavour you require. Any left over beet, can be dried & turned into a vibrant beet powder.

  6. Once the mix has thickened slightly pass it through a sieve into a bowl & set aside to cool, cover over directly with greaseproof paper to stop a skin from forming.

  7. Once cool enough to place in the fridge, refrigerate into its chilled completely.

  8. When the custard has chilled to fridge temperature, add it to your ice cream machine, let the machine work its magic. When the custard becomes an ice cream transfer it to a freezer safe container & place it into the freezer to set properly & enjoy at your leisure.

I am trying to understand why people buy tinned rice pudding when they can make their own, which is simple and tastes better.

It’s hot. Very hot. Very very hot. So no surprise I’ve got more trips to the freezer than my local swimming pool. We have a wide range of choices when it comes to plant-based ice cream. But like many ready-made products, you don’t really know what’s gone in. Below is a simple plant-based chocolate ice cream recipe I’ve tried. And love!
