Categories     Dessert

Time 1h45m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 angel food cake (make, use a mix or buy one already made)
2 1/2 cups sliced rhubarb
1/2 cup sugar
1 orange
2 1/2 cups sliced strawberries
red food coloring
1 cup whipping cream
1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1/4 cup sugar
mint leaf (garnish)

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb and the juice of one orange (juice should equal at least 1/4 cup liquid- if additional liquid is needed, add water to make 1/4 cup).
  • Add 1/2 cup sugar, cover and cook over medium heat until rhubarb is tender.
  • Set aside 1/2 cup sliced strawberries.
  • Stir remaining strawberries into rhubarb mixture.
  • Stir in a few drops red food color for eye appeal.
  • Cool.
  • Mixture will begin to thicken slightly.
  • Slice cake horizontally to make 3 layers.
  • Spoon 1/2 the filling on bottom cake layer.
  • Add second layer cake and spoon on remaining filling.
  • Place top layer on cake.
  • Chill cream well, whip until stiff.
  • Set aside.
  • Beat together ricotta cheese, 4 tablespoons sugar, and the grated peel of one orange.
  • Beat until fluffy.
  • Fold whipped cream into whipped ricotta cheese.
  • Frost the sides and top of cake with whip cream mixture.
  • Garnish with remaining strawberry slices and mint leaves.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Cake is best if served same day.

Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of tartness and sweetness, choose rhubarb stalks that are a vibrant red color and firm to the touch.
  • If you don't have any lemon zest on hand, you can substitute orange zest or lime zest for a similar citrus flavor.
  • To make sure the egg whites reach stiff peaks, use a clean bowl and whisk. Any grease or residue can prevent the egg whites from whipping up properly.
  • If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil the meringue in the oven until it is golden brown.
  • For a gluten-free dessert, use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs or another gluten-free cookie crumb.

Conclusion:

With its creamy, tangy filling and light, airy meringue topping, Rhubarb Angel Dessert is a delightful treat that is sure to impress your friends and family. The combination of sweet rhubarb and tart lemon is perfectly balanced, and the crunchy graham cracker crust adds a delicious textural contrast. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or just as a weeknight dessert, Rhubarb Angel Dessert is sure to be a hit.
