Fresh rhubarbs from Mlango Farm, I prepared a quick and an easy dessert for the boys to serve on Valentine's day. They did enjoy it. All I used was my son's cereals, some leftover custard and couple of tablespoons of cream with cooked rhubarb. Instead of cereals, crushed cookies or vanilla sponge cake can be used.

| Rhubarb and custard cream |
Serves 4
Time: 30 minutes ( 30 minutes chilling time )
400-500 grams rhubarb cut into slices of 4 cm or just chop them.
1/2 cup caster sugar
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tbs lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1 cup custard cooked
1/2 cup whipped cream
6 tbs cereals (I used crunchy nut clusters)
Method
Mix the rhubarb slices with lemon juice, sugar, zest and water in a bowl and microwave it for 6 to 8 minutes until done or it can be cooked in the oven also at 180'C for 20-30 minutes. I prefer the microwave as it shorts the time.( I was in a hurry as it was an instant dessert.)
After the rhubarb is cooked, let it come to room temperature and then start assembling.
In a martini glass/bowl add 2 tbs of cereals, few tbs of cooked custard then layer it with few rhubarb slices and its juice. Add 2 tbs of custard again and the rhubarb slices topped with the cream. And in the end just to decorate it, spoon a few tbs of the rhubarb juices and garnish with mint.
Chill it for at least 30 minutes and then serve it.
