Winter is now upon us down here in Australia and with that comes Rhubarb season! Here is a recipe that incorporates a Rhubarb jam through a fresh ginger ice cream. You will need to begin this recipe the day before you need it.
Ginger Ice Cream with Rhubarb Swirl Recipe
Makes approximately 1 litre
Ginger Ice Cream Ingredients:
150g raw sugar
50g fresh ginger knob (washed)
500g pure cream
250g full cream milk
2 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
Rhubarb Jam Ingredients:
370g rhubarb (washed & roughly chopped)
100g sugar
100g fresh orange juice (approximately 1 orange)
Thermomix Method:
1. Place the 150g sugar into the bowl and grind on Speed 9 for 10 secs. Set aside.
2. Add the knob of ginger and chop on Speed 5 for 2 seconds. Scrape down the sides.
3. Add the cream and milk. Cook for 7 minutes at 80 degrees on Speed 2. Set aside for 30 minutes to allow the ginger to infuse.
4. Add the sugar back into the cream, milk and ginger mixture. Add the eggs and cook for another 7 minutes on Speed 4.
5. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove the ginger chunks. Place the custard into a metal tin/bowl and allow to cool slightly before placing it into the freezer for 3-4 hours.
6. Begin making the Rhubarb jam. Add the Rhubarb, sugar and orange juice to the TM bowl and cook for 3o minutes on Varoma on Speed 1. Use the rice basket instead of the MC to allow the jam to reduce easier.
7. Puree the jam on Speed 5 for 20 seconds. Allow to cool slightly and then place in the fridge to cool completely. It is important that this jam is cold when you try and swirl it through your ice cream mixture.
8. Chop the ice cream mixture into smaller chunks and place it back into the Thermomix and churn for 1 minute on Speed 9. Return to the freezer for another half hour before you put the swirl through.
9. Place dollops of your Rhubarb jam onto the top of your ginger ice cream. Use a knife to gently swirl the jam through. Place back into the freezer and leave to set overnight.
Remove the ice cream from the freezer appoximately 10 minutes before serving to soften the mixture and make it easier to scoop.
Goes perfect with apple crumble! Enjoy!
