Delias Rhubarb Ice Cream With Crumble Recipes

DELIA'S RHUBARB ICE CREAM WITH CRUMBLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C)
• Make the crumble by rubbing the flour, butter and brown sugar together until it forms pea-like crumbs, then put onto a baking sheet. Set aside.
• Wash the rhubarb and cut into bite sized pieces and put into a shallow baking dish along with the lemon juice and sugar; mix well.
• Place this dish in the lower part of the preheated oven, and the crumble on a higher shelf. Bake the crumble for about 10 to 12 minutes, then remove from the oven. Continue to bake the rhubarb for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until it is soft, then remove from the oven and allow to cool.
• When the rhubarb is cool, use a stick blender or food processor to puree the fruit until it is smooth. Place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator until needed.
• Break up the crumble into pieces and set aside about one quarter of the crumbs for topping the ice cream.
• When you are ready to process the ice cream, mix the cream into the rhubarb puree and pour into the prepared ice cream maker* and process according to manufacturer's directions (or until it looks like soft whipped cream).
• Add the crumble pieces at the last minute of processing; when mixed well, stop the machine and put the ice cream in a container that can be frozen. Place in freezer for a minimum of 4 to 6 hours before serving. I like to add some of the reserved crumble to the top of each serving.
• * If you don't have an ice cream maker, freeze the cream and rhubarb (without the crumble) for 3 or 4 hours, then beat and freeze for 2 more hours. Beat again and this time add the crumble, freeze for 4 to 6 hours, then serve.

Remove to a bowl; cool completely., In a bowl, whisk together both creams, vanilla and remaining sugar until sugar is completely dissolved. Fill cylinder of an ice cream maker no more than two-thirds full. Freeze according to manufacturer's directions. During the last 5 minutes of processing, add oat mixture, breaking up any large crumbles before adding., Transfer half of the ice cream to a 1-quart freezer container; drizzle with half of the rhubarb mixture. Using a knife, cut through mixtures in a zigzag pattern to swirl. Repeat with remaining ice cream and rhubarb. Freeze, covered, until firm, about 4 hours.

RHUBARB CRUMBLE ICE CREAM

Steps:

• First of all make the crumble by combining all the ingredients together in a bow and using your hands to rub the butter into the flour s that the mixture comes together to form small, pea-sized balls of dough.
• Sprinkle this evenly into an 11 X 7 inch baking tin and set aside.
• Cut the rhubarb into 1/2 inch lengths and place them in a large shallow baking dish along with the sugar and lemon juice.
• Place the dish on a lower shelf in an oven, preheated to 375*F, Place the tin containing the crumble mixture on the shelf above it.
• The crumble needs to be baked for 10 minutes, then remove it from the oven and cool.
• The rhubarb may need a further 15 to 20 minutes cooking before it is completely tender: when it is cooked, take it outand puree it in a food processor or blender til smooth.
• Transfer to the fridge and chill.
• Before making the ice cream, use your hands to break up the cooled crumble and restore it to small peas sized pieces.
• (If they are too big the pieces are too unwieldy to eat, if too small,they tend to disappear.) Next, stir the cream into the rhubatb puree, pour it into an ice-cream maker and churn until the mixture has the consistency of softly whipped cream.
• Quickly spoon into a plastic freezer box and stir in the crumble pieces.
• Put on the lid, and then freeze for a minimum of 2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm enough to serve.
• To make without an ice-creammaker, freeze the mixture, without the crumble, in the box for 3 to 4 hours,then whisk and return to the freezer.
• Refreeze for a further 2 hours, then whisk again, and stir in the crumble before the final freezing.
