Rhubarb Tiramisu

[antipodes]

For those wondering what to do with Rhubarb:
about 20-30 sponge finger biscuits
2 cupfuls of sweet stewed rhubarb, cooled (I used 7 or 8 small stalks, it was just right)
about a cup of apple juice with added brandy/ or alternatively, sweet cider

2 tubs of marscapone cheese
Vanilla
4 eggs
100g sugar
Make the cream: beat the cheese well with the sugar, vanilla and egg yolks, until smooth and creamy. Beat the egg whites until stiff then fold them gently into the cheese mix.

In the shallow dish, roll the biscuits one by one in the apple juice and line the bottom of the mould. Add half the rhubarb and spread flat.
Add a layer of cream.
Repeat the layers (whether you get 2 or 3 layers of each depends on the size of the bowl). Finish with a layer of the cream and chill for at least 3 hours before serving. Before serving, sprinkle with a dusting of bitter cocoa.

Delicious! It beats a crumble, and it looks quite elegant!

Here's one I made up

Rhubarb Ginger trifle

Cooked Rhubarb sweetened to taste put in the base of a bowl.

Sprinkle gingernuts with alcohol of choice, I used cheap brandy I have for cooking...needs to work with ginger!
Chop up some ginger from ginger in syrup and add to rhubarb..don't over do this.
Place gingernuts in layers on top of Rhubarb and pour some ginger syrup over biscuits. Leave to soak while making a custard to go on top. chill and put whipped cream on top.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Made the Tiramisu with rhubarb from the lottie, and the garden for friends who came over for a BBQ today.

Everyone absolutely loved it.

Thanks very much for sharing.

Cheers, Rob.
