have I imagined a pudding you can make with rhubarb, ginger snaps and cream?

[margoandjerry]

I have all said ingredients and I'm thinking crush ginger biscuits and layer them with whipped cream and rhubarb...

I'm sure I've seen this recipe somewhere (well, not really a recipe as no cooking required, more an assemblage) but I can't find it. Just wondering if there's more to it than that? Is there a subtle twist that will turn it from a strange collection of leftovers to a proper pudding that people will like and admire me for

put anything in a stemmed glass with lots of cream and people will love you for it

(do remember to stew the rhubarb and taste carefully for sweetness)

Probably a common version of Eton Mess

King Edward's Comprehensive Mess.

Polytechnic Mess

Peach schnapps whipped in with the cream would be nice, I reckon.

Surely not imagined it, sounds divine. How about make a rhurbarb fool with crushed biscuits on the top, or the bottom, or forget the biscuits and just eat the fool?

[colditz]

Damn you Badger.

[MrsBadger]

look, you didn't imagine it

familiar but can't remember the name (LOL at Colditz- coz like they use stemmed glasses in laods of comps these days )

I thought you did biccys, cream rhubarc so the biccys absorbed the cream? and tehn I would add a touch of stem ginger over cream to the final layer

and some syruppy cooked down demarara and ginger wine perhaps would pull it together?

I've been making a ginger orange log thing for years - dip gingernuts in orange juice then wedge them together into a log with cream. Cover whole thing with cream then crumble flake over the top.
I bet it would work just as well with rhubarb if you stewed it first.
It's damn nice with the orange juice tho.

Thanks for all the tips - sounds gorgeous. Making it tonight so will report back.

ooooooh, that was lovely

Even nicer the day after when the ginger nuts have gone all squishy...thanks MN ladies
