Dulce de leche, a thick, caramel-like spread, is very popular in South American desserts. It is incorporated into these individual ice-cream cakes and topped with honey-coated and roasted rhubarb and apples.
For extra decadence, drizzle with additional warmed dulce de leche.

625 ml (2 1/2 cups) chopped fresh rhubarb (cut in 1 cm/1/2-inch pieces)
1 apple
90 ml (6 tbsp) liquid honey
2 ml (1/2 tsp) vanilla
Line 6 muffin cups with paper liners. Spoon 2 ml (1/2 tsp) of the crumbs, then 7 ml (1 1/2 tsp) of the dulce de leche into each cup. Spoon in ice cream, packing lightly; smooth tops. Spread remaining dulce de leche on top; sprinkle with remaining crumbs. Cover and freeze until firm, about 2 hours or for up to 2 days.
Sauce: In a shallow 2-l (8-cup) glass baking dish, combine rhubarb, apple and honey; bake in a 190 C (375 F) oven for 25 minutes or until apples are tender. Add vanilla with a potato masher, crushing fruit. Let cool until warm or cover and refrigerate until cold.
To serve, divide half of the sauce among individual dishes. Remove liners from ice-cream cakes and place ice cream on sauce. Spoon remaining sauce over top.
