Behold...the most seductive ice cream to ever meet your face. A creamy, coconutty, vegan and dairy-free ice cream with a strawberry rhubarb port swirl.
I'm dying.
I'm dead. Fancy, schmancy, sweet and sophisticated port wine waltzing in a wave of succulent strawberries and sour rhubarb.
It really doesn't get much better than that.
Can you tell I have writer's block today?
I keep writing something then erasing, writing then erasing, writing then erasing and so on and so forth. Entertaining a 9 month old who is easily bored can do that to you...you best believe.
So, I'm just going to show you a few more pictures and bid you adieu.
Have a great weekend!
Strawberry Rhubarb Port Swirl Ice Cream
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Rhubarb Port Swirl:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
- 1 cup fresh rhubarb diced
- ½ cup evaporated cane juice pure cane sugar, or sweetener of choice
- 3 tablespoon port wine
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
For the Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream:
- 2, 15 oz. cans full-fat coconut milk I used Thai Kitchen, refrigerated
- ⅔ cup evaporated cane juice pure cane sugar, or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
Instructions
For the Strawberry Rhubarb Port Swirl:
- Add ingredients to a sauce pan over medium heat, and simmer until the fruits have broken down and released their juices and the alcohol cooks offs. About 10-15 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool completely.
For the Vanilla Coconut Ice Cream:
- Add contents of both cans, cane juice, and vanilla to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
- Pour coconut mixture into your ice cream maker and prepare according to manufacturer's settings. NOTE: If your coconut milk was not refrigerated before hand, put the mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before churning.
- Once the ice cream is made, spoon half of the coconut mixture into a loaf pan, top with half of the rhubarb mixture and swirl together with a bread knife.
- Repeat step 4 with the remaining ingredients.
- Cover with plastic wrap, making sure to press the wrap against the top of the ice cream, and freeze until set. About 2-3 hours.
- Remove from freezer and let defrost for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Enjoy!
