Ingredients

• 4 cups (diced) Fresh rhubarb
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 large (crushed into crumbs) Graham crackers
• 3 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the rhubarb filling: In a medium saucepan, combine the diced rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water.

Step 2

2. Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb softens and breaks down into a compote-like consistency. This should take about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Step 3

3. Prepare the graham cracker crust: In a small bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until evenly combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of six serving glasses or bowls to create a base layer.

Step 4

4. Whip the cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Step 5

5. Assemble the dessert: Layer the cooled rhubarb compote over the graham cracker crust in the serving glasses. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Step 6

6. Garnish (optional): If desired, garnish each dessert with a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs or a small sliver of fresh rhubarb.

Step 7

7. Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
