Rhubarb Gingersnap Parfaits Recipe
  • Prep: 20 min. + chilling Cook: 15 min. + cooling
  • Yield: 4 Servings
20 15 35

Ingredients

  • 4 cups chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb (about 1 pound)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract
  • 2 tablespoons coarsely crushed gingersnaps

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, bring rhubarb and sugar to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until rhubarb is tender and mixture is reduced to 1-1/3 cups. Remove from the heat. Cool for 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate.
  • In a large bowl, beat the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Beat in confectioners' sugar. Add sour cream and extract; beat until stiff peaks form.
  • In four parfait glasses, place about 2 tablespoons rhubarb mixture and 1/4 cup cream mixture; repeat layers. Sprinkle with gingersnaps. Chill until serving. Yield: 4 servings.

Editor's Note: If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.
