Tip

Lighter Homemade Ice Cream

To lighten up my favorite homemade ice cream recipes, I substitute half-and-half cream or skim milk for the full-fat versions. —Jennifer Pleake, Omaha, Nebraska

I have made this recipe since it first came out in Taste of Home magazine two years ago! My husband & kids all absolutely LOVE this ice cream and it's a summer tradition I am expected to make at least several times a year. I tend to add extra cinnamon just for kicks. It's amazing!

*In response to the comments by others about marshmallows, it's more about texture than flavor, but hey, make it in whatever way makes you happy, it's ice cream....there is no such thing as a wrong way to make it!

Terrific!

Great recipe. I melted the marshmallows into the rhubarb, (I had originally thought this was what you were supposed to do, until my sister was asking where the marshmallows where afterwards, and I re-read the recipe). Planning on making it again this weekend, and will still melt the marshmallows, as it was great last time!

definitely takes a bit of time, however most of that is cooling in the refrige time. The flavor was awesome - nice to have a rhubarb recipe!! However leave out the marshmallows, they add nothing to the taste.

We tried this recipe last night...it was a big hit! I have already shared the recipe with other family members. My husband's only suggestion was leave out the marshmallows which he is not a fan of.

I made my batch in a Rival 4-Qt electric ice cream freezer. I doubled the recipe so it took longer than 20 minutes but well worth the wait. It was very good and fun to make. This recipe is a keeper in our house!

A little more time consuming than other recipes but well worth it. I don't really think it needs the salt or doesn't need a whole half teaspoon. My second attempt will be with the salt adjusted. Otherwise Very good!

I have a friend who loves anything strawberry-rhubarb flavored so I always try to surprise him with something new. This was wonderful! Sweet and creamy with just a hint of tartness. Turned out even better than I expected.
