Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound Rhubarb (rinsed, ends trimmed, leaves removed and cut into ½-inch thick slices)
¼ cup Granulated Sugar
2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream

Steps:

  • Combine the rhubarb and sugar in a medium sauce pan with lid over medium-high heat. Allow to come to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes stirring a few times. Stir and reduce heat to low, replace the lid and allow to cook an additional 3 minutes until the rhubarb is soft and breaking down. NOTE: the more it is stirred the more it will breakdown into smaller pieces.
  • Place a sieve over a small bowl and allow the juice from the rhubarb to drain into the bowl. Reserve the juice. Allow both to cool. NOTE: may be refrigerated to speed cooling or until later dessert preparation.
  • Whip the heavy whipping cream until it makes soft peaks. Fold in the rhubarb compote (NOT the separated juice) until they are combined. Spoon into serving glasses and drizzle with some of the juice. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving. NOTE: the juice may be drizzled on just before serving instead OR in addition.

TANGY RHUBARB FOOL

Found this in Taste of Home magazine and with rhubarb soon to be in season wanted to save it here. Hope to try it soon as sounds light and refreshing and not to difficult to make. Preparation time does not include refrigeration time. Rhubarb season and I finally got around to making this. If you like the tang of rhubarb you'll love this - I think it might be even better with strawberries added and might give that a try.

80g caster sugar
3 cardamom pods
1 blood orange or pink grapefruit, zested and juiced (you'll need about 125ml juice)

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, bright red rhubarb stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into small pieces, about 1-inch in length.
  • Add sugar to taste: Rhubarb is naturally tart, so you may need to add sugar to taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
  • Use fresh or frozen rhubarb: You can use either fresh or frozen rhubarb for this recipe. If using frozen rhubarb, thaw it completely before using.
  • Chill before serving: The fool should be chilled before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken.

Conclusion:

Tangy rhubarb fool is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for summer. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The tartness of the rhubarb is balanced by the sweetness of the sugar and the creaminess of the mascarpone cheese. This dessert is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
