Instant Rhubarb Fool (without the custard) Recipe

Time – 15 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3 sticks of rhubarb
• 2 tblsp of sugar
• 2 tblsp mascarpone
• 4 tblsp Greek yoghurt
• water

A handful of other red fruit to colour and decorate – eg redcurrants, blackcurrants, strawberries, raspberries

Method:

1. Wash and chop the rhubarb sticks into inch long bits and put in a pan with an inch of water. Add the sugar. Cook for a few minutes until mushy and leave to cool.
2. Meantime put into a jug the mascarpone and yoghurt and if you wish a handful any other red fruit to colour the fool (otherwise it comes out vanilla). Frozen berries will work fine and make a refreshing summer pudding. Add the cooled rhubarb and mix either by hand or with hand mixer.
3. Taste and add sugar/fruit until it is the right colour and sweetness for your taste.
4. Pour into glass bowls and leave to set in the fridge for half an hour. Decorate with more fruit as desired before serving.
