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

  • Fresh mint leaves to garnish

Method:

  1. Place rhubarb, orange juice and cardamom pods into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until rhubarb has broken down.
  2. Sweeten with stevia to taste (remember the coconut yoghurt is naturally sweet so it’s ok for your rhubarb to maintain a mild tartness)

  4. Once cool construct your fool by spooning in generous alternating layers of rhubarb and coconut yoghurt
  5. Top with a generous sprinkling of toasted pumpkin seeds, pistachio nuts and a sprig of mint
