Scale
For the Swirl:
- 4 stalks rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup water
- 3/4 cup sugar
For the Base:
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (or ½ vanilla bean, scraped)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
To Make the Sauce for the Swirl:
- Place rhubarb, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and continue cooking 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The rhubarb will break down and should take on a jelly-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool. Add to a blender or food processor. Process until smooth. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
To Make the Base:
- Whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl. Once sugar is dissolved, cover and refrigerate for 3 hours until chilled.
- Pour base into ice cream maker. Churn according to manufacturer’s directions.
- Transfer half of the ice cream to a loaf pan. Spoon half of the sauce over the top. Add the remaining ice cream on top of that, and top again with sauce. Use a knife to swirl.
- Cover and freeze until firm, 3 hours minimum.
