Rhubarb Fool With Whipped Cream & Gingersnaps
- 2 cups (about 4 Large Stalks) Chopped Rhubarb, Chopped Into About 1/2-inch Pieces
- 1/3 cups Granulated Sugar
- 1-1/2 cup Whipping Cream
- 3 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
- 1 cup Crushed Gingersnap Cookies (about 16 Cookies)
- The compote:
- In a medium saucepan (not over heat yet), stir together the chopped rhubarb pieces and sugar. Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes to allow the rhubarb to release some juices.
- Then set the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the rhubarb to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is very tender, about 12 minutes. Then remove from the heat and allow rhubarb to cool. Then transfer to a bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 2 hours to allow the compote to thicken.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl, using a hand mixer), beat the whipping cream and powdered sugar until stiff.
- Using 6 ounce glasses, alternate adding the compote, whipped cream and crushed gingersnaps in layers, ending with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkling of gingersnap crumbs. Serve.
