Dark Chocolate and Roasted Beet Ice Cream

Something about the sweetness of beets and their deep crimson colour feels so in line with the Ashkenazi dessert tradition, although I doubt that Jews from Dubienka were experimenting with vegetable-flavoured ice creams. This recipe, originally published in The Gefilte Manifesto: New Recipes for OldWorld Jewish Foods, can also be made without the mint if that’s not your thing.
