How to Make Rhubarb Meringue Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Prepare the rhubarb compote: In a medium saucepan, combine the rhubarb, sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb is tender and has released its juices (about 10-15 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. While the rhubarb cools, prepare the meringue: In a clean, grease-free bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.
  5. Gradually add the sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  6. Gently fold in the vanilla extract.
  7. Spoon the rhubarb compote into individual oven-safe ramekins or a larger baking dish.
  8. Top with the meringue, spreading evenly to cover the compote.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly golden brown and firm to the touch.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
