Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Afternoon tea, Dessert, Dinner, Supper, Treat

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

700g forced pink rhubarb
zest and juice 1 orange
splash sweet sherry
85g golden caster sugar
200g shortbread biscuits (about 9), broken into large crumbs
568ml carton double cream
100g sugar
500ml carton thick Devon custard

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Cut the rhubarb stalks in half lengthways, then into finger-length pieces. Put in a shallow ovenproof dish, then pour over the orange juice and sherry. Tuck the orange zest around and sprinkle with sugar. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 30-40 mins, until the rhubarb is tender. Uncover and cook for a further 5 mins to reduce the sauce until syrupy, then leave to cool.
  • To assemble the trifle, scatter the shortbread in the bottom of a trifle dish. Drain two-thirds of the rhubarb from its syrup. To make the fool, whip the cream and sugar together, then fold half into the custard. Fold in the rhubarb so the mix is swirled pink. Spoon the mix on top of the shortbread, then spoon the rest of the cream around the edge of the bowl. Use a slotted spoon to lift the remaining rhubarb into the middle of the trifle. Serve with the syrup in a separate jug. Once assembled, will keep in the fridge for up to a day.

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 15

800g rhubarb , cut into 5cm pieces
100g caster sugar , plus 2 tbsp for the whipped cream
pared zest and juice ½ orange
a few splashes grenadine (optional) - this is to endure that the rhubarb has a lovely pink colour
75ml Disaronno
juice 2 oranges (about 150ml)
8 trifle sponges
140g mascarpone
500g pot vanilla custard
600ml pot double cream
25g butter , softened
50g plain flour
25g demerara sugar
25g whole almond , roughly chopped
50g jumbo oats

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Arrange the rhubarb pieces in a large roasting tin. Sprinkle over the sugar, orange zest and juice, grenadine and 150ml water. Cover with foil and bake for 25-30 mins until tender but not mushy. Scoop the rhubarb out of the tin into a sieve and reserve any juices, then leave to cool completely. Tip the rest of the liquid into a saucepan, along with the collected juices, and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15-20 mins or until reduced and syrupy. Leave to cool completely.
  • To make the crumble topping, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles fine crumbs, then stir through the demerara sugar, almonds and oats. Tip onto a baking tray lined with parchment and bake for 15 mins, shaking the tray every so often, until golden brown, then cool.
  • Mix the Disaronno and orange juice together in a shallow dish. Dip each sponge into the liquid, leaving it for about 15 secs on each side, then arrange them in the base of a large trifle dish. Tip the mascarpone into a bowl and whisk until soft and smooth, then add the custard, a little at a time, and mix until combined. Arrange half the rhubarb pieces on top of the sponges, discarding the orange zest. Drizzle over 2 tbsp of the rhubarb syrup and top with half the custard mix.

EASY RHUBARB TRIFLE



Easy Rhubarb Trifle image

Boozy, soggy, creamy, sweet and tart, this simple cake is somewhat like a tiramisù, since it is layered with ladyfingers. (But let's not call it a tiramisù, because it's really not authentic or traditional.) It's more like a simplified trifle, as it has no custard sauce or whipped cream, but it's rich and delicious nonetheless. Mascarpone and crème fraîche are whisked together for the creamy filling, and Campari, orange liqueur and brandy punch up the cooked rhubarb's syrup. Look for store-bought ladyfingers, available in Italian shops and many supermarkets, or substitute good-quality poundcake or sponge cake. The trifle can be assembled up to a day in advance.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 pounds rhubarb, tough peels removed, cut into 3/8-inch pieces
1 cup/200 grams plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Cointreau or triple sec
1 tablespoon Campari
1 tablespoon brandy or Cognac
1 cup/250 grams (8 ounces) mascarpone
1 cup/250 grams (8 ounces) crème fraîche
1 teaspoon grated orange zest
About 20 store-bought ladyfingers, or use poundcake or sponge cake
Fresh rose petals, organic or unsprayed, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. In an ovenproof dish, combine chopped rhubarb and 1 cup sugar, and bake, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, until rhubarb is softened and submerged in syrup. Drain rhubarb in a sieve or colander set over a saucepan to collect the syrup. Set rhubarb aside, and let cool.
  • Place saucepan over medium-high heat. Add Cointreau and Campari and simmer until syrup has reduced to about 1/2 cup. Stir in brandy.
  • Put mascarpone and crème fraîche in a bowl. Add orange zest and the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Whisk mixture briefly to incorporate.
  • Assemble the trifle: Line the bottom of an 8- or 9-inch square glass or ceramic dish with ladyfingers. Break ladyfingers to fill completely. (If using poundcake or sponge cake, cut into 1/2-inch slices.) Spoon half the syrup evenly over the ladyfingers. Top with half of the cooked rhubarb, spreading it flat to the edges of pan. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over rhubarb.
  • Make another layer with half the ladyfingers and spoon remaining syrup over them. Spread remaining rhubarb on top, and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to a day. A half-hour before serving, remove from refrigerator. Garnish with rose petals, if desired.
  • Cut trifle into squares and serve on plates, or use a large spoon to scoop portions into bowls.
