Roasted beet ice cream

Taylor's obsession with beets has ultimately lead us here. To beet ice cream. You had to be expecting it, right? This particular recipe comes from Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams at Home, which, I have to say, is pretty splendid. Jeni's opened up a Nashville shop recently, and while I've only been once, I am still thinking about that cherry and goat cheese ice cream (and will likely be attempting it myself very soon!) But since the beets from our CSA were getting smaller by the week, I figured now was my chance to give this one a try. Granted, it was a last minute decision so I had to make modifications based on our lack of orange zest and poppy seeds. Which, looking back, was probably a mistake. It was a bit lackluster without them. You might think that beet flavor in ice cream would be overpowering; but I found myself wishing it had more beet flavor. I'm sure that's where the orange zest kicks in, but without it this ice cream was kind of bland. Of course, once drizzled in chocolate
