Strawberry Rhubarb Ice Cream
My friends stare at me with wonder when they check out the limited kitchen equipment/utensils in my arsenal. I’m a minimalist at heart and can’t stand clutter and this translates into the kitchen as well so I never think to purchase an ice cream machine. It seems heavy and bulky and just one more thing to clean and have sitting on my counter, not to mention, nearly all of my kitchen tools were donated or picked up second hand. I’d much rather spend that extra money on more food, you see. So, I bring you my strawberry rhubarb ice cream, created with no more than a blender or food processor, local fruit, coconut cream, and honey.

- 1½ c coconut cream
- 3 oz strawberries
- 3 oz rhubarb
- ½ c honey
- Cook off your fruit and honey. Bubble and boil until it thickens and softens the fruit.
- When your fruit mixture cools off, tip that and your cream into a blender/processor and blitz until smooth.
- In a dish lined with parchment/wax, pour in your blended mixture. Cover and allow this to set in your freezer overnight. (You can also freeze in an ice tray to make it easier to work with later).
- The next day, set our your frozen base and soften slightly. Toss in chunks to your blender/processor and blend until smooth and creamy. Scoop it back into your dish and allow it to firm up a bit. Scoop and eat!

I scream, you scream!
Love,

Simple is the best my friend
Love it. This looks fantastic! Beautiful flavour combination. I’ve also never owned an ice-cream maker, or a pasta-making machine, or a mixer with a dough hook… but it’s amazing what you can achieve with a bit of elbow grease!
Strawberries and rhubarb are in season now, timely recipe.
Thanks, Norma! Hope your harvests have been abundant!
I couldn’t agree more!!
Thanks, Uru!
I haven’t bought an ice cream maker for fear that I would want to use it all the time…your strawberry rhubarb recipe is one of the first I would want to make.
I’m always on the lookout for new rhubarb ideas…I always get given so much of it when it’s in season. This looks good!
Sounds delicious!
I always skip over ice cream recipes because I don’t have a machine either. Thanks for posting this – now I just have to wait for the rhubarb to grow!
Oooh I bet that will make the finished product that much sweeter
i did not think to use coconut cream. mine usually come out too icy when i make like that.thanks for the tip squishy! you ever had a Halfmoon cookie?
I don’t have a machine and will probably never buy one but I do have the tools to make it this way and might get a little crazy on it pretty soon! Strawberry rhubarb sounds fab!
Ice cream heals all
Lucky!!
Thanks, V! I hope you love it
Yay!
No but now I’m intrigued!!
i can send u the recipe. i got it from original owner that retired.
Yummy, yummy ice cream! Love the mix of strawberry and rhubarb. Yes you can make it without a machine. but a friend gave me her old one for free and I cherish it.
WOW! That looks sooooooooooooooooo cool and delicious Angie! A Neighbor( ESS) down the street has offered us some rhubarb. Maybe we could make this. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! Have a lovely evening!
xoxoxoxo.

I want to try strawberry rhubarb and
coconuts are the bestest
I broke down and bought an ice-cream maker last year and I definitely get my use out of it. I do know what you mean about running out of room though. It sits in the garage when not in use
Hi Angela, I scream, you scream…. I WANT ICE CREAM!!!
Rhubarb and strawberry are perfect for each other. The ice cream looks absolutely delectable.
If I find the time this weekend I will make an effort to try this out. I love almost everything in this recipe.
I totally agree: more good food and less expensive gadgets. I still haven’t bought an ice-cream maker (not to mention my small freezer which couldn’t contain the ice-cream maker container…) so your recipe is perfect for me. I love the combination of coconut cream, rhubarb and strawberry. It gives me other ideas too. Thank you so much!
YESSSS…..I definitely scream for icecream!!!! Happy weekend girl!!!

I love love love your easy ice cream recipe.
Strawberry and rhubarb is a killer combination! And no ice cream maker? What a bonus! I love it!
Thanks! Hope the weekend is made sweeter with some ice cream =)
Thanks, Amy! However, if ever someone were to donate one to me, I’d be happy to use it =)
Thank you!!
Thanks, Kayle!
You too, Rebecca!
ooh, I’d love to hear/see them!
Hooray!
They were quite in love in my dish =)
You too, Amelia!
You’d be so proud, Suzie…we’re making deer jerky this weekend!
I think I’m a bit obsessed with coconuts lately!
ooh, I’d be all over that!
In an instance like that, I’d be more than happy to rent out space for it in my lil ole kitchen =)
That would be neat =)
I’ve bought an ice cream maker a few weeks ago: I really have to try these flavours. Thanks!
Let me know how it all comes out!
Hey i think your strawberry ice cream link is crashed. I can’t access it from my phone like how i access the other link. It doesn’t say like “link error” or any other stuff, but the page just shows a lot of patterns like ◆◆▶◆:-D▪←▶◆◆▶↓▼→▶◆←▶◆▶←▶.. the pattern here is an example only, not what i’m seeing.. hope that you could fix it. Thanks..
Btw i love your recipes..
Thank you so much, Gab. I haven’t been able to figure it out yet but I shall stay on top of it! =)
