Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped Rhubarb
- 2 cups hulled and sliced Fresh Strawberries
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 cups Heavy Cream
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, hulled and sliced strawberries, granulated sugar, and water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes until the rhubarb is soft and the strawberries have broken down.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree the rhubarb-strawberry mixture until smooth. Allow it to cool completely before proceeding.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and salt.
Stir the cooled rhubarb-strawberry puree into the cream mixture until well combined.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to ensure it is thoroughly chilled.
Once chilled, pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions (usually about 20-25 minutes).
Transfer the churned ice cream to an airtight container and freeze for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Scoop and serve the Rhubarb Strawberry Ice Cream and enjoy!
