Vibrant in color and flavor, this dessert is among spring’s first locally grown delights. We make a homemade mint ice cream that is a perfect match.
Ingredients
- 4 cups rhubarb, washed and cut in ½-inch pieces
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons fresh-squeezed lemon juice
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats
- Pinch salt
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 4 cups fresh mint ice cream*
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°.
Combine rhubarb, sugar, vanilla and lemon juice in a large bowl. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine light brown sugar, flour, oats and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter or fork (or fingers) until mixture is crumbly. Refrigerate 10–15 minutes.
Divide rhubarb in individual oven-safe ramekins, or arrange in a medium-sized baking dish. Loosely sprinkle the crumble over the top. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until browned and slightly crispy. Cool for 10 minutes. Serve with a scoop fresh mint ice cream on top.
