Rhubarb Ice Cream

Chilling in the Spring

Rhubarb Ice Cream

The idea of making Rhubarb Ice Cream occurred to me last summer — just after rhubarb season. And so I've had to wait an entire year to try it out. One word - Yum! Rhubarb and cream go together well and rhubarb has a lovely tartness. The ice cream was actually an extremely pale yellowish pink, so I added some red food coloring to make it darker. I based this recipe on my friend David Lebovitz's article, "Scooped," in the June/July 2009 Fine Cooking magazine. David is also the author of The Perfect Scoop - highly recommended.

You know what is a really nice combination? Rhubarb and ginger in both sorbets and ice creams. So good!

Katerina,
If you didn't look at the recipe, it does include ginger.

Rosa,
Yes it does - ad yet another vegetable competing for my meat-loving heart.

Kevin, now I must go out and get a new ice cream/ sorbet maker....maybe even a hand crank! This looks gorgeous! I bet it was delicious

Erika,
Don't get a hand-crank unless you have kids to crank it.

Yummy.

Just what I need, an ice cream maker! F-a-t-t-e-r me. Actually, it is JUST what I need ... a great idea for fresh peaches, blueberries, and other great summer fruits.

Mercier's Apple Orchard in Blue Ridge, GA, is having a pick-ur-own cherry day. Fresh cherry ice cream with dark chocolate pieces?
