Instructions
- Put the rhubarb, sugar, and water in a non-reactive pot and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Once the mixture is boiling, turn down the heat a bit and continue to boil gently until the rhubarb has softened. Some of it will be broken down and some will remain chunky. This will take about 5 or so minutes, after the mixture has come to a full boil.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Let the mixture cool completely, then chill. This can be done up to 2 days in advance.
- In a chilled bowl add the cream and confectioner's sugar. Whip to soft peaks. Add the sour cream and continue to whip briefly until combined and smooth.
- Gently fold the rhubarb compote into the whipped cream with just a few turns of a flexible spatula or silicone spoon.
- Spoon the fool into small glasses and either serve immediately, or chill until needed.
Notes
- As written with 1/3 cup sugar the rhubarb compote is on the tart side, just the way I like it. Be sure to taste it for yourself and add a bit more sugar if you find it too tart. Remember that the whipped cream will blunt and balance that tartness in the final dessert.
