Simple Rhubarb Crisp

Rhubarb Crisp | Bijouxs Little Jewels

Rhubarb season is upon us. What’s better than a simple Rhubarb Crisp with Strawberry ice cream? Wow, I’m up to recipe No. 642 from the Collection Membership.

RHUBARB SEASON

I’m starting to see fresh Rhubarb in the markets, I saw Melissa’s Produce, so it is time to grab some and bake a simple crisp. Actually my neighbors grow it, I will have to look into this. It is a very tart vegetable, so many times you see it paired with strawberries for sweetness.

GRANDMA’S RUBARB

I have written about my Nebraska Grandmother, who came to LA later in her life. She really knew her way around rhubarb, she grew it in her suburban garden, along with potatoes and of course chickens. She was a farmer so this was normal for her. She always made a Strawberry Rhubarb pie, but I opted for something simpler like this crisp.

STRAWBERRY + RHUBARB

You see these paired together in recipes. The strawberries cut the tartness of the rhubarb. I went straight rhubarb for the crisp and served it with a scoop of strawberry ice cream. Another Little Jewel recipe from the Membership Collection.
Thank you for your support!

Demerara Roasted Blueberry No Churn Ice Cream

No Churn Blueberry Ice Cream| Bijouxs Little Jewels

A creamy, smooth & rich sweetie of a no-churn ice cream, just brimming with roasted blueberries-Demerara Roasted Blueberry No Churn Ice Cream, a new Little Jewel from the Membership Collection.

NO CHURN ICE CREAM

How easy is this recipe?  Very easy. it’s a take on no-churn ice cream made special with the addition of Mascarpone cheese. A creamy dream that goes together quickly and is placed in the freezer. Once the ice cream base is the consistency of soft frozen ice cream you add the good stuff. No churn ice cream is new to me, but there are some common threads in most recipes: whipping cream with sweetened condensed milk, then adding in extras. There are organic options for the sweetened condensed milk.

DEMERARA ROASTED BLUEBERRIES

Here are little jewels that you swirl in the almost-set ice cream. Blueberries are roasted with crunchy Demerara sugar and a dash of balsamic vinegar to create the sweet swirls for the ice cream. These blueberries are not just for this ice cream. I have used these blueberries as a sweet topping with morning yogurt, wonderful along side roasted chicken, or blended into your favorite smoothie. A versatile recipe in the kitchen.

CREAMY NO-CHURN RECIPE

This a a very soft ice cream. It never really freezes completely solid due to the richness of the ingredients. However, it is truly wonderful, even  if it melts in a minute. Just be ready to roll when you remove it from the freezer. Scoop and serve immediately. The sugar roasted berries add a delightful sweetness. Place the ice cream in the freezer proof container. (I used a silicone loaf pan which gave enough depth to be able to scoop the ice cream). If you happen to have ice cream freezer container, that will work the best. There are lots to choose from here.
