Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups (chopped) Rhubarb
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Gelatin powder
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, until the rhubarb becomes soft and breaks down into a sauce-like consistency.
Remove the rhubarb mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set it aside to cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin powder over 2 tablespoons of cold water. Let it bloom for about 5 minutes.
Gently heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave or a small saucepan over low heat until fully dissolved. Stir the dissolved gelatin into the cooled rhubarb mixture.
In a separate large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until soft peaks form.
Fold the rhubarb mixture into the whipped cream gently, ensuring everything is well incorporated, but be careful not to deflate the cream.
Spoon the rhubarb fluff into individual serving dishes or a large bowl.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Serve cold and enjoy this light, tangy treat!
