Sugar Free Rhubarb and Pistachio Fool
This is versatile dish can be either a delicious dessert for a dinner party or as a special weekend breakfast. Rhubarb is great for the gut and promotes regularity.
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of fresh rhubarb stalks, washed and cut into 2cm portions
- Juice of one small fresh orange
- 2 whole cardamom pods
- Stevia liquid
- Good quality coconut yoghurt
- 3 tablespoons of shelled pistachios
- 3 tablespoons of toasted pumpkin seeds
- Fresh mint leaves to garnish
Method:
- Place rhubarb, orange juice and cardamom pods into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until rhubarb has broken down.
- Sweeten with stevia to taste (remember the coconut yoghurt is naturally sweet so it’s ok for your rhubarb to maintain a mild tartness)
- Remove from the stovetop and allow to cool
- Once cool construct your fool by spooning in generous alternating layers of rhubarb and coconut yoghurt
- Top with a generous sprinkling of toasted pumpkin seeds, pistachio nuts and a sprig of mint
