Rhubarb-Maple Fool In Phyllo Stacks
- Crisps:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 10 (14 x 9-inch) sheets frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- 5 tablespoons maple sugar
- Fool:
- 4 cups chopped rhubarb (about 1 1/4 pounds)
- 1/2 cup maple sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons grated orange rind
- 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Dash of ground cloves
- Dash of salt
- 1/3 cup whipping cream, chilled
- 2 teaspoons maple sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0.
- To prepare crisps, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; cook 3 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
- Lightly dab 5 phyllo sheets with half of browned butter; sprinkle each sheet with 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar. Stack layers together; gently press. Cut phyllo stack into 9 (4 2/3 x 3-inch) rectangles. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo, browned butter, and 2 1/2 tablespoons sugar. Place rectangles on baking sheets. Bake at 350u0b0 for 5 minutes or until crisp. Remove from pans; cool completely on a wire rack.
- To prepare fool, combine rhubarb and next 8 ingredients (through salt) in a large saucepan; bring to boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until reduced to 2 1/2 cups (about 30 minutes), stirring occasionally. Place half of rhubarb mixture in a blender. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender. Place a clean towel over the opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Blend until smooth. Pour into a medium bowl. Repeat procedure with remaining rhubarb mixture. Cover and chill completely.
- Place whipping cream, 2 teaspoons sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in sour cream. Fold whipped cream mixture into chilled rhubarb mixture.
- Place 1 phyllo crisp on a dessert plate. Layer crisp with 1/4 cup rhubarb mixture, 1 phyllo crisp, 1/4 cup rhubarb mixture, and 1 phyllo crisp. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo crisps and rhubarb mixture. Serve immediately.
