Step-by-Step Instructions for Rhubarb Ice Cream
- Prepare the Rhubarb Compote: In a medium saucepan, combine chopped fresh rhubarb, 1/4 cup sugar, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it simmers. Cook for about 15 minutes until the rhubarb softens and thickens. Cool and puree until smooth.

- Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks, one whole egg, and 2/3 cup sugar until light and frothy, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.

- Heat the Heavy Cream: In another saucepan, heat 2 cups of heavy cream over medium heat until steaming. Gradually whisk a small amount into the egg mixture.

- Combine and Cook the Mixture: Return the mixture to the saucepan and stir over low heat for 5-7 minutes until it thickens. Strain through a fine mesh sieve.

- Chill the Mixture: Allow the custard to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

- Combine Compote and Custard: Once cooled, combine the compote and custard in a mixing bowl and fold together until smooth.

- Churn the Ice Cream: Transfer to an ice cream maker and churn according to instructions for 20-25 minutes.

- Freeze the Ice Cream: Transfer to an airtight container, smooth the top, cover, and freeze for about 4 hours until set.
