Instructions
Rhubarb Compote:
- In a saucepan combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar and water.1 1/2 cups chopped fresh rhubarb, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 tsp water
- Simmer over low-medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until all the sugar has dissolved and the rhubarb has broken down. You just need a gentle simmer. The mixture doesn't have to be completely smooth, pieces of rhubarb are yummy.
- I sometimes will use a potato masher to break down the rhubarb. You want the mixture to be soft. The mixture doesn't have to be completely smooth, pieces of rhubarb are yummy.
- Let COOL COMPLETELY, about 1 hour.
Whipped Cream:
- Using a stand mixer, whip together the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla, until stiff peaks form. Set aside.1 cup whipping cream, 1 tbsp sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Putting it all together:
- Once the rhubarb has completely cooled, fold it into the whip cream.
- Evenly distribute the dessert between 4-5 dessert cups, small mason jars or fancy serving glasses.
- Refrigerate until you are ready to eat!
