Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Rhubarb stalks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams Plain yogurt
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 sprigs Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and trim the rhubarb stalks. Cut them into small chunks, approximately 1-2 cm in length.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rhubarb chunks, granulated sugar, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the rhubarb becomes soft and breaks down, about 10 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
Once cooled, pour the rhubarb mixture into a blender or food processor. Add the plain yogurt and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Pour the blended mixture into a shallow, freezer-safe container. Cover tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
Freeze the mixture for at least 4 hours or until firm. For best results, stir the mixture with a fork every hour to break up ice crystals and create a smoother texture.
Once fully frozen, scoop the icy rhubarb mixture into serving bowls or glasses. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing Scandinavian-inspired dessert!
