How to Make Rhubarb Tiramisu

  1. Wash 400g rhubarb and cut into 1cm slices.
  2. Combine rhubarb with 100g granulated sugar in a saucepan. Gently bring to a boil.
  3. As soon as the mixture boils, remove from heat and let it cool completely (at least 5-6 hours). Cover the surface of the rhubarb with a piece of greaseproof paper to prevent skin formation.
  4. Once cooled, carefully strain the rhubarb mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the syrup.
  5. Arrange approximately 200g of ladyfingers in a serving dish or individual bowls.
  6. Drizzle about half of the reserved rhubarb syrup over the ladyfingers, ensuring they are evenly moistened. Let them soak for 15 minutes.
  7. Refrigerate the soaked ladyfingers while you prepare the cream mixture.
  8. In a heatproof bowl, whisk 4 large eggs and 3 heaped tablespoons (approximately 75g) of caster sugar over a pan of simmering water until thick, creamy, and cooked (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Transfer the egg mixture to a stand mixer and whisk at high speed until thick and cool.
  10. In a separate bowl, whip 200ml of heavy double cream until stiff peaks form.
  11. In another bowl, whisk 250g mascarpone cheese with 2 tablespoons (approximately 25g) caster sugar until smooth and creamy.
  12. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then carefully fold in the cooled egg mixture until just combined.
  13. Remove the soaked ladyfingers from the refrigerator. Sprinkle the poached rhubarb evenly over the ladyfingers.
  14. Spoon the mascarpone cream mixture over the rhubarb and spread evenly using a palette knife.
  15. Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  16. Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder.
