Rhubarb and ginger fool

Sharp pink rhubarb rippled through softly whipped cream and yoghurt. One of the oldest British puddings, and one of the quickest.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Simmer the rhubarb, sugar, ginger and orange juice in a covered pan until soft and collapsing.
  2. Mash lightly with a fork and leave to cool completely, then chill.
  3. Whip the cream with the icing sugar to soft peaks, then fold in the yoghurt.
  4. Fold in most of the rhubarb so it ripples through, spoon into glasses and top with the rest.
