Strawberries and rhubarb collectively is one in every of my all time favourite combos! Ever since I first tried my Grandma’s strawberry rhubarb sauce after I was little that she made with the rhubarb rising in her again yard I used to be a fan. That stuff was so easy, simply strawberries, rhubarb and sugar. It was so good! I ate it by the bowlful! I nonetheless love strawberries and rhubarb in desserts. I had simply gotten some rhubarb from my Dad’s again yard and I made a decision that I wanted to make one thing good with it. Because it has been heat right here currently I assumed Vegan Roasted Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream sounded wonderful!
Now roasted ice cream could sound like an oxymoron, however the roasting half takes place earlier than the fruit is added to the ice cream. I simply unfold out the strawberries and rhubarb on a sheet pan and roasted them to excessive flavorful deliciousness! Roasting brings flavors out and intensifies them in any case, and this was the thought. That and it removes extra moisture within the fruit. Which contributes to extra icy ice cream which is definitely not factor except you’re going for a granita or popsicle or one thing. The much less ice the extra creamy the ice cream.
For the ice cream base, I used a mixture of coconut milk and almond butter this time. When you wished you may use cashew butter I simply favor almond (as a lot as I like cashews they upset my abdomen a bit), and it was what I had available. I actually could not style it within the completed product, it simply contributed to the ice cream’s gelato like texture. I additionally added a contact of vanilla and I sweetened this one with dates as a result of I wished to go the pure sugars route this time. Plus once more, they do not add extra moisture like say, maple syrup would add. But when you do not need to make use of dates and maple syrup is simpler for you, it’s about 1/3 of a cup you would wish for this.
This ice cream turned out tremendous scrumptious! It was so creamy and dreamy, the proper stability of tart and candy from the strawberries and rhubarb and full of taste! In case you have strawberries and rhubarb available and are craving some scrumptious ice cream, undoubtedly give this Vegan Roasted Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream a do that spring or summer time!
