Ice cream as amuse bouche or starter, vegetarian

Mix the beetroot juice with sugar and sour cream or yogurt until the sugar has completely dissolved. Sometimes the juice is very intensely colored. In this case, you can increase the amount of cream until you achieve the desired color. Stir in finely chopped dill, berry pink peppercorns, and vodka. Pour into a shallow dish and let it harden completely in the freezer. To serve, scrape shavings from the surface of the ice with a spoon and pour into chilled glasses. This flavor isn’t really suitable as a dessert, but it’s a great appetizer or starter.
