A "fool" is a British dessert that's usually made with custard. This is a modified, quicker version I created. My kids love it because it doesn't taste like rhubarb—so I guess it's well named! I'm a secretary in the Agronomy Department of our local university...although I've been known to help with corn harvest as part of my duties! My husband and I have four sons, 13 to 8.

For a more traditional fool, don't fully mix the rhubarb and whipped cream; it should be swirled through the cream so streaks of fruit show.
