To prepare a delicious and innovative beet and apple cream, we need a few simple yet flavorful ingredients. We start by roasting or boiling the beets, then peeling them and cutting them into small pieces. This step is essential because the beet is the base of our recipe and will provide a creamy texture and a sweet taste that will blend perfectly with the other ingredients. After preparing the beets, we take care of the apples. We peel and core them, then cut them into small cubes. The apples add a note of freshness and a pleasant contrast to the sweetness of the beets. We put both the beets and the apples in the food processor or blender and mix them until we get a smooth and creamy composition. At the end of this process, it is important to taste and adjust the seasoning. We add salt and vinegar to taste, to balance the flavors. If we want to add an extra intensity, we can introduce into the mixture ½ teaspoon of prepared horseradish or grated horseradish. This addition will transform the cream into a more complex dish and will provide a refreshing taste. Once we have obtained the desired mixture, we can decide how to store it. An excellent option is to freeze it, and for an ideal sorbetto texture, we can use an ice cream maker. If the cream has frozen too hard, we don’t worry. We take it out of the freezer, let it thaw a bit, and then mix it again to break any ice crystals. Another option is to cut the beets and apples into cubes and freeze them directly. Once they have hardened, we blend them frozen and season them with salt, oil, vinegar, and optionally, horseradish. An interesting idea would be to pour the obtained cream into ice cube trays. After they have frozen, we blend them again, resulting in a refreshing dish that can be served as an appetizer or side dish. Whether we choose to enjoy the simple version or experiment with different combinations, this recipe will provide us with an explosion of flavors, perfect for delighting our senses. Don’t forget to savor every bite and enjoy the freshness of the ingredients!
