Rhubarb Compote

Oat Crumble

Almond Financier

Orange and Vanilla Ice Cream

Method

Rhubarb Compote

  1. 1

    Prepare the Compote

    In a saucepan, combine chopped rhubarb, sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb is soft and syrupy, about 10-15 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract and set aside to cool.

Oat Crumble

  1. 2

    Make the Oat Crumble

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). In a bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt until crumbly. Spread the mixture on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool.

Almond Financier

  1. 3

    Prepare the Financier Batter

    In a bowl, whisk almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy. Gently fold the egg whites into the dry ingredients, followed by the browned butter. Pour into financier molds and bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15 minutes or until golden.

Orange and Vanilla Ice Cream

  1. 4

    Make the Ice Cream Base

    In a saucepan, heat the cream, milk, and half of the sugar until just boiling. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the remaining sugar. Gradually add the hot cream mixture to the yolks, whisking continuously. Return to the saucepan and cook until thickened. Stir in vanilla bean and orange zest. Chill and churn in an ice cream maker.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a plate, place a financier, spoon over rhubarb compote, sprinkle with oat crumble, and serve with a scoop of orange and vanilla ice cream.
