Strawberry rhubarb crumble parfait
Alcoholic beverages
As a kid, I was not a rhubarb fan. <br /> <br />Heck, what am I saying. As an ADULT, I was never a rhubarb fan. <br /> <br />Anything that requires copious amounts of sugar in order to just be edible didn’t seem appealing to me. And when I did venture out to try a rhubarb something-or-other that someone had made, I found it to be TOO sweet, with loads of added sugar. <br /> <br />Rhubarb grows abundantly in Dad’s garden each summer, and he is always trying to pawn some off on me. I know he is disappointed when I turn him down every time; but this year, I surprised all of us! <br /> <br />It all started when our neighbor Debbie (who is also our massage therapist–wouldn’t you just love a massage therapist right next door?) brought over 2 pieces of strawberry rhubarb pie that her mom had made. I was all set to let S.O. have my piece, when something told me to take a bite first. Oh my, am I glad I did! It was out of this world. Somehow, Debbie’s mom created just the perfect balance of sweet, tart, flaky, tender, you name it. I went from trying to ditch my piece, to “hey, are you going to eat all of yours?!” <br /> <br />So given my current ice cream flavor inventing obsession right now, it hit me: Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble Parfait–sweet and creamy strawberry rhubarb ice cream, layered with crunchy buttery crumble bits, to create a fun parfait! I’ve got to say, it is truly a vibrant flavor extravaganza in a glass. No kidding. And to think that it came from something that I deemed inedible!
