Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (diced) Fresh rhubarb
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 6 large (crushed into crumbs) Graham crackers
- 3 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
Instructions
1. Prepare the rhubarb filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water.
2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and breaks down into a compote-like consistency. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
3. Prepare the graham cracker crust: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of six serving glasses or bowls to create a base layer.
4. Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
5. Assemble the dessert: Layer the cooled rhubarb compote over the graham cracker crust in the serving glasses. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
6. Garnish (optional): If desired, garnish each dessert with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs or a small sliver of fresh rhubarb.
7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
