Method

  • step 1

    Put the rhubarb, root ginger, sugar and white wine in a pan, bring to the boil and simmer on a low heat for 4-5 mins until the rhubarb has softened. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.

  • step 2

    In another bowl, whisk the mascarpone, double cream and icing sugar to soft peaks. Remove 4 tbsp cooled rhubarb and mash with a fork, then fold into the cream mixture.

  • step 3

    Divide the rest of the poached rhubarb between 4 glasses, reserving a bit. Spoon over the cream mixture, then top with a few pieces of crystallised ginger and the rest of the rhubarb. Can be chilled for several hours before serving.

RECIPE TIPS
REDUCE THE FAT

A classic syllabub is made with cream, so it’s not the healthiest of puds. To reduce the fat content, simply swap the cream for natural yogurt.

A big hit! Was making with some less than sweet garden rhubarb so switched the white wine for a mix of rosé and the King’s Ginger, added another tbsp of sugar along with a few drop of vanilla extract and thickened the rhubarb with a bit of cornflour. Will definitely make again, maybe with some…

Lovely summer pud. We're not mad on ginger in sweets, so I halved the amount, leaving just a hint. You could leave it out completely but it really does add depth so would be a shame. Skipped the crystallised ginger on top, serving a crunchy little amaretti alongside instead. Also used half yogurt…

Have made this twice in the last fortnight and it’s been a huge hit both times. I use close to twice the amount of rhubarb however and I replaced the double cream with full fat natural yoghurt.

Quick and easy. You could make the rhubarb component a couple of days before and keep chilled. Quite big portions so would easily serve 6. Decreased the ginger as we are not all fans in the house. Would definitely make again.
