πŸ“ These Strawberry Rhubarb Sundaes provide a refreshing balance of tart rhubarb and sweet strawberries atop creamy ice cream.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes plus chilling
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 1 lb rhubarb

– 2 stalks rhubarb

– 1/2 cup sugar

– 1/4 cup water

– 2 pints strawberries

– 4 shortbread cookies (optional)

– Ice cream (quantity as needed for serving)

Instructions

1-Remove hulls and stems from the strawberries, then cut them into quarters to get them ready for cooking.

2-Cut the rhubarb into half-inch pieces so it cooks evenly and blends well with other flavors.

3-In a large saucepan, mix the strawberries, rhubarb pieces, sugar, and water to start building that sweet sauce.

4-Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 8 minutes, stirring now and then to keep it smooth.

5-Refrigerate the sauce until it’s fully cooled, which helps it thicken and taste even better.

6-Scoop ice cream into your serving dishes to create the base of your sundae.

7-Top the ice cream with the cooled rhubarb sauce for that perfect sweet-tart combo.

8-Add a shortbread cookie to each serving if you want an extra crunch.
