This fool dessert, spiked with ginger, is so light and pillowy, and so pleasingly neon. I find it hard to think of a dessert I’d rather eat. The rhubarb brings a welcome sharpness and pop of bright pink. Vegan cream may not whip soft peaks – just whip it as much as you can.” – Anna Jones

Method

  1. Oven temperature, 190°C, 375°F, gas 5.
  2. In a pan, cook the rhubarb and sugar for 2 minutes, until the juices turn the sugar into a pink syrup, but the rhubarb still holds its crunch. Set aside to cool in the pan for 20 minutes.
  3. Whip the cream or vegan cream a little shy of soft peaks, then fold in the yoghurt.
  4. Add the finely chopped ginger and stir it with the ginger syrup and lemon zest. When it has cooled, stir half the cooked rhubarb into the cream.
  5. Spoon the fool equally between 4 Le Creuset Ramekins, topping with the remaining thinly sliced ginger and the rest of the rhubarb.

Cook’s Notes: You can adjust the amount of sugar to the sweetness of your fruit.
