Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Toss chopped rhubarb with sugar and vanilla bean seeds, let sit for 60 minutes, then spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes.
- Combine flour, sugar, cold butter, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Chill for 15 minutes, then bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes until golden.
- Whisk egg yolks and sugar in a saucepan until pale. Heat heavy cream and milk in another pan until boiling, then gradually whisk it into the egg yolk mixture. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Strain the thickened mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl. Cool to room temperature, stir in crème fraîche, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Pour the chilled ice cream base into your ice cream maker. Churn according to the manufacturer's instructions for 20-25 minutes, folding in half of the roasted rhubarb and crumble before finishing.
- Transfer churned ice cream to a freezer-safe container, pressing parchment paper against the surface. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Scoop the ice cream into bowls and top with remaining roasted rhubarb and crumble.

Notes
For optimal texture, chill the mixture thoroughly before churning and avoid mushy rhubarb by roasting just until tender.
