Unlike many ice cream recipes, this one does not contain eggs.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 1 quart

Ingredients

1 pound trimmed rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons water
8 ounces ripe strawberries
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons kirsch

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and the water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low; let simmer, stirring frequently, until rhubarb is very tender and beginning to fall apart, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat; transfer to a bowl; set aside.

    Step 2

    Place the strawberries in the bowl of a food processor; puree. Strain through a fine sieve or chinois into a bowl; set aside.

    Step 3

    Scald the cream and milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Do not let boil. Remove from heat, add the remaining 6 tablespoons sugar, and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.

    Step 4

    In a medium bowl, combine the cooked rhubarb, strawberry puree, cream mixture, and kirsch. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill at least 2 hours or overnight. Freeze in an ice-cream maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
