Ingredients

  • 4 stalks rhubarb chopped
  • 3 cups chopped strawberries
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 5 large egg yolks
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 tsp salt divided
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter cut into pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss rhubarb, strawberries, honey, and vinegar on a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until fruit is soft, stirring occasionally.
  • Add fruit to a high-speed blender, and puree until smooth. Cover and chill. Meanwhile, whisk egg yolks and cornstarch in a large heat-proof bowl; set aside.
  • Combine milk and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat 5 to 10 minutes or until sugar dissolves. Gradually pour milk mixture into egg yolks, whisking constantly.
  • Add mixture back to saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Pour egg mixture through a sieve into cream; whisk to combine.
  • Whisk in rhubarb-strawberry puree, vanilla, and 1/4 tsp salt. Chill 1 to 2 hours or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, combine flour, brown sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and butter in a large bowl; stir until mixture resembles coarse sand. Stir in oats; spread mixture on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown; cool.
  • Pour custard into container of an electric ice cream freezer; freeze according to manufacturer's directions. Add baked crumble mixture during last 5 minutes of freezing. Spoon ice cream into a freezer-safe container; freeze up to 1 month.
