Step 1

For beetroot ice-cream, boil beetroot juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 200ml (10-12 minutes). Set aside to cool. Bring cream, milk and vanilla bean and seeds to the boil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk yolks and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale(5-6 minutes). Whisk in beetroot reduction, thenpour in cream mixture, whisking continuously. Place over a saucepan of simmering water and stir continuously until thick (7-8 minutes). Refrigerate overnight for flavours to develop, then churn in an ice-cream machine and freeze until required. Makes about 1½ litres.

Step 2

For chocolate brownie, preheat oven to 160C, and butter and line a 25cm-square cake tin with baking paper. Melt butter and chocolate in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Whisk eggs and sugar an electric mixer until thick and pale. Pour in chocolate mixture and fold to combine, fold in the flour and a pinch of salt, then fold in walnuts. Pour into prepared tin and bake until a skewer withdraws clean (40-45 minutes). Cool, then tear a quarter of the brownie and crumble into little pieces. Remaining brownie will keep stored in an airtight container for a week.

Step 3

For ganache, combine ingredients in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir occasionally until smooth and well combined (4-5 minutes). Transfer to a container, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate until required. Bring out of the fridge to soften slightly before serving.

Step 4

For burnt orange, heat a heavy-based frying pan over high heat until very hot. Toss the orange in and let it burn and colour – not for too long, but you want to see some blackening (1-2 minutes). Scatter the sugar and cinnamon over the orange and a quick caramelisation should occur. Transfer to the food processor, give it a whizz until coarse crumbs form and set aside.

Step 5

For goji sherbet, whizz ingredients in a small dry food processor to fine crumbs – make sure the goji berries are completely dried or the mixture will become sticky and ball up. Store in a dry airtight container.

Step 6

To serve, place a heaped tablespoonful of ganache in the base of each bowl and smear it around a little, then place a spoonful of burnt orange in each bowl. Sprinkle in brownie crumb, then goji sherbet, as well as bee pollen if you're using it. Scoop beetroot ice-cream on top, scatter with sorrel leaves and serve straight away.
