This looks divine. We made a sort of parfait/fool last night; we picked up some awesome parfait glasses from a vintage market* in Waipukurau this summer. Delicious and very fancy looking.
*it was called a fair, so I was expecting prize courgettes and tractor rides, but it was basically a very good and large jumble sale. Swift whips aplenty at a fraction of the price you’d find at an antique store; I should have bought them all…
Ah yes fool! Thank you for the reminder. I have a plenitude of rhubarb. It also puts me in mind of when I lived in England in the ‘80s. Marks & Spencer sold little punnets of gooseberry fool. OMFG. Divine. I was poor and could really only afford essentials - which turned out to include M&S gooseberry fool. Needless to say, they no longer have gooseberry fool. That’s the way of the world.
Wow, gooseberry fool at M&S, what a time that must have been! Meanwhile, a plenitude of rhubarb is a good stand-in. @Mark Diacono had a great rhubarb and feta salad in one of his recent newsletters, should you be looking for a more savoury application.

Ohhh I wish you had! I’m still grieving the loss of mine, last seen in a Brougham St flat in 2001 😢
