Recipe Ingredients
400g rhubarb, trimmed and cut into 2cm pieces;
50g caster sugar;
3 large eggs, separated;
75g icing sugar;
284ml double cream;
2 tbsp Cointreau;
orange flavoured chocolate sticks.
 
Recipe Method
Put the rhubarb in a pan with the caster sugar and gently cook for 10 minutes with a lid on, until the rhubarb is tender. Transfer to a bowl and leave to cool. Once cool place in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Put the egg whites in a bowl and whisk until soft peaks form. Add a quarter of the icing sugar and whisk until stiff again. Add the remaining icing sugar, a bit at a time, whisking after each addition.
Whisk the cream in, and then fold in the egg yolks, cointreau and chilled rhubarb.

Put in freezer-proof container and chill for at least 3 hours. Serve with chocolate orange sticks.
