Rhubarb lover's dream
One of my favorite desserts is trifle, and I simply can't resist anything with rhubarb in it. I have a fondness for forced rhubarb, the naturally pink and sweet kind that is grown in dark sheds. I had a memorable dessert at Hipping Hall, which featured rhubarb done in four different ways, including jelly, blitzed rhubarb, sliced rhubarb, and more. Another classic dessert that I enjoy is a good old-fashioned trifle, with layers of cake, jelly, custard, cream, and sprinkles. It's a nostalgic treat that I feel hasn't gotten the reinvention it deserves.
