Rhubarb Ice Cream – No Churn (a Random Recipe)

This is the simplest ice cream I have ever made. No churning required, yet amazingly creamy, soft and luxurious. And it is full of one of my favourite garden ingredients……. rhubarb!

Last month I missed the random recipe challenge and even though time this month has been extremely limited, with school holidays and a lack of the usual routines, I was determined that I was going to enter for August. I love Random Recipes, the brain child of the lovely Dom over at Belleau Kitchen, because it encourages making recipes which otherwise would not get a look-in and also forces me (more or less) to try and stick to a recipe (not an easy task for any food blogger and one which I find particularly difficult).

This month, Dom has paired up with Kavey who hosts the Bloggers Scream for Ice Cream challenge over at Kavey Eats, for a wonderfully random ice cream challenge. Although I do have a few ice cream books I could have selected a recipe from, I decided that this month, my random pick should come from the many recipes I have bookmarked from other food blogs. There are some amazingly talented and creative cooks out there and I figured that if I have bookmarked a recipe, it is because it deserves to be made. So why not randomly select one and use it?

I organise my bookmarks into recipe groups and have about 39 bookmarked in the ‘ice cream and ices’ list. Not being a book, it excludes the possibility of opening a random page, so to ensure a random selection, I took another book off the shelf and opened it (page 74), then counted my bookmarks from top to bottom and then started again until I reached the allotted number.

And what did I pick? No Churn Rhubarb Ice Cream that I had bookmarked from The Baking Beauties over in Canada. Nice choice!

Actually………. it couldn’t have been a better choice, on account of the large rhubarb plant growing in the garden that needs eating before the winter sets in. I did have it earmarked for a couple of sponge and crumble recipes, but what the hell…… I’ve never had rhubarb ice cream before and the plant is still growing, so I’m sure it will do me the courtesy of a few more stalks before it gives up for the year. It’s the least it can do given that I have ensured it adequate water and care during the summer heat.

I have slightly changed the ingredient quantities in the recipe to convert easily to UK-available ingredients, but otherwise, I have kept true to the recipe.

If you like rhubarb, this ice-cream is delightful. Very rich and creamy, wonderfully tangy, peppered with little bites of fruity, fleshy rhubarb and sweetened to perfection. It is soft enough to scoop straight from the freezer and melts into a rich gooey rhubarb cream, which would be amazing on its own.

If you read Alida’s post on How to Spot a Good Quality Ice Cream over at her beautiful blog My Little Italian Kitchen, you will know that quality ice cream should :
taste of the flavour you have picked
leave you with a good aftertaste
melt quickly
not have funny colours
not leave a feeling of greasiness on the palate…….

Now I would have guessed that a no-churn ice cream might not score that well, but this one comes up trumps on all criteria……….. So I guess it’s pretty good! It would be interesting to try churning it next time to see whether it makes any difference………..

Although the ice-cream needs nothing else, I served mine with a drizzle of honey. Not just any old honey, but locally-sourced honey infused with vanilla, which I picked up at a local summer festival. The honey, produced by a Kent company : Nuts 4 Honey, is all organic and comes both naked and flavoured with anything from cocoa or coffee, to ginger, cinnamon, nuts and fruit. It is absolutely delicious and drizzled over this ice cream, adds a natural, sticky sweetness which is divine.

If I wasn’t doing a random recipe challenge, I might have substituted some of the sugar in the ice cream for natural honey or maple syrup and possible added a shake or two of cinnamon. Maybe next time…….

And on account of the back-garden rhubarb and drizzled locally-bought honey, I am also entering it into August’s Shop Local hosted by Elizabeth at Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary. The walnut ice cream spoon is also made by a local artist, Ben Kelly at Bo Ku (who makes beautiful things from wood) and was bought from a local cafe Quite Contrary, which is run by a friend of mine.

See how well it melts and how creamy it looks? I took these photos first thing in the morning……… Darn…… Ice cream for breakfast again!!!!

Rhubarb Ice Cream (no churn) makes 2 litres – slightly adapted from The Baking Beauties 

Ingredients

450g rhubarb – cut into pieces (1 to 2 cm)
150g caster sugar
2½ tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tin (397g) condensed milk
500 ml double cream

Method

  1. Place the cut rhubarb, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Simmer until the rhubarb softens and breaks down (8 to 10 minutes). Add and stir in the vanilla extract and set aside to cool completely.
  2. When cool, stir in the condensed milk and place in the fridge to chill.
  3. In a chilled bowl, whip the double cream until it holds its shape in peaks.
  4. Stir a spoonful of cream into the chilled rhubarb mix to make it a little lighter and then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream.
  5. Transfer the ice cream into a freezable container and freeze overnight to harden.

    I adore rhubarb – this ice cream looks an amazing texture given that it's a no churn recipe

      Me too….. And yes the texture was quite a surprise! I wondered whether it was the use of condensed milk which helped?

    It honestly sounds so delicious. I love rhubarb so much so this would be the perfect ice cream for me and super easy without all the churning business too… Love the honey at the end although I would have put it into the ice cream during the freezing process too! Thanks so much for finding the time to enter this months random recipes xx

      Thanks Dom. I would have put some honey in if I wasn't trying to be true to the recipe. Having drizzled honey over the top, I thick swirls of honey mixed in would work really well….

    Sounds delicious and I love that its no churn. I bet it would be great with some chunks of ginger too. I must try using condensed milk in ice cream. Looks fabulous with the honey drizzle

Perfect Panna Cotta. Sweet with Vanilla. With the Perfect Panna Cotta. Sweet with Vanilla. With the desired ‘wobble’ and drizzled with beautiful, tangy Berry Coulis. 🍓
Being a Coeliac household, it’s a favourite dessert. It’s also one of the rare desserts that isn’t a gluten free brownie when you eat out... I miss eating out!
How’s everyone else doing? What are you most missing with lockdown?
It’s so long since restaurants were allowed to open here. We didn’t really come out of lockdown after the summer... I really feel for the local businesses ☹️
But in the absence of dinner out... We just have to make our own Panna Cotta. 
Creamy, meaty, super smooth... 
Who’s with me?
The recipe is on the blog... follow the link from my profile (lnk.bio).

A brief lesson in Courtesy and Integrity... These A brief lesson in Courtesy and Integrity... These are my gluten free Bourbon Biscuits. Optional Dairy Free and Vegan.
I worked hard to get the recipe right. It took many goes and many tweaks to achieve the texture and flavour that is so Bourbon-iconic.
That’s a lot of ingredients. A lot of ‘getting it wrong’… until I was ‘getting it right’. 
It takes a lot of effort and determination to create recipes that work and work well… And that are at least as good as their glutenous counterparts.
Imagine my utter FRUSTRATION when I found that someone had taken my recipe and (having changed one simple ingredient… removing the ‘pinch of salt’ from the biscuit dough), claimed it as their own… The only credit given to me was that they had been ‘inspired’ by my recipe. 
Even worse… they posted the FULL RECIPE on Instagram, Facebook and heaven only knows where else. 
They made a video for Instagram which has had over 7,000 views. They posted it on Facebook (without any mention of Gluten Free Alchemist initially)…That was another reach of thousands. 
I have received NOTHING from their extreme ‘generosity’ in sharing my recipe. Not even a direct link to my website, from which I am trying to make a living following redundancy.
I’m not going to name and shame (although frankly as a commercial organisation they should have known better)… But INTEGRITY is important.
If you take a recipe from someone else… Give them FULL CREDIT. If you tweak a recipe with small alterations… Still give them FULL CREDIT. Be sure to direct people to the original website post where the recipe can be found in full. 
As a recipe developer, you are at the whim of the integrity and honesty of others not to steal your work. People who take without asking and without any gratitude destroy trust and faith.
Thank you for reading xx
For those of you who wanted the recipe… You’ll find a printable recipe card at Gluten Free Alchemist xx
PINCH OF SALT IS OPTIONAL
