RHUBARB AND BANANA FOOL A delicious dessert with fruit and soft cheese This is based on a recipe that a friend of the contributor found on the top of a Sainsburys quark tub. It is described simply as delicious. Yield Serves 4-6. Ingredients 1 lb rhubarb, 500 g 1/4 cup soft brown sugar, 120 g 1 1/4 tsp preserved ginger, 6 ml 2 large bananas, thinly sliced 2 egg whites 1 Tbsp castor sugar, 15 ml 8 oz quark, or soft cheese, 250 g Method Cook and purée the rhubarb. Allow the rhubarb purée to cool. Add the soft brown sugar, preserved ginger, and most of the sliced banana, reserving some banana for decorating. Mix well. Gradually beat the rhubarb and banana mixture into the quark. Fold in the egg whites. Transfer the mixture into individual dishes. Chill. Top with the reserved banana slices. Serve. Enjoy. Notes The original recipe is based on one found on the top of a Sainsburys quark tub. Quark is identified in the source as a soft cheese. Reserve some of the sliced banana before mixing the rest into the rhubarb and quark mixture. The reserved slices are used to decorate the chilled desserts before serving. Verified Recipe Note: The original ingredient markup uses “(14” for 1/4 and “1(14” for 1 1/4. These have been converted here for readability. Verified Recipe Note: The original text uses troff accent markup in “purée.” This has been converted to the accented word in the formatted method. Verified Recipe Note: The ingredient list includes 1 Tbsp castor sugar, but the original method does not explicitly say when to add it. Verified Recipe Note: The ingredient line pairs “1/4 cup” soft brown sugar with “120 g.” Both measures have been preserved from the source, though they are unusually paired.
