About the bake

Our Rhubarb Fool recipe is super simple and tastes great with a shortbread biscuit. We recommend our Chocolate Chunk Shortbread recipe as it is quick to make. You could even crumble some of the biscuits up and use them as a base for the Rhubarb Fool.

Method

  1. Step 1:

    Heat the rhubarb and sugar together in a pan with a splash of water and bring to a gentle simmer.  Occasionally give the pan a shake to stop any rhubarb sticking to the pan and cook until the fruit softens.

  2. Step 2:

    Stir in the vanilla bean paste and allow to cool. Puree the mixture in a food processor.

  3. Step 3:

    Put the yoghurt in a bowl and mix in the icing sugar until smooth.  Gently whisk in the cream (it will thicken as you whisk so do not over-do it).

  4. Step 4:

    Ripple through the rhubarb pulp and spoon into pretty glasses or bowls to serve.  Finish with a few chopped pistachios on top.
