A refreshing and elegant palate cleanser combining tart rhubarb sorbet with a bubbly prosecco float, perfect for spring dinners and special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (600g) fresh rhubarb stalks, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 bottle (750ml) chilled dry to extra dry prosecco
  • Pinch of fine sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Wash and chop about 4 cups (600g) of rhubarb into 1-inch pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 1 cup (240ml) water. Heat over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely (about 5 minutes).
  3. Add chopped rhubarb to the syrup. Lower heat to a gentle simmer and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is tender but still holds some shape.
  4. Pour the rhubarb and syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl, pressing gently to extract liquid and pulp. Discard solids or save for another use. Let cool to room temperature.
  5. Transfer strained rhubarb liquid to a blender or food processor. Add 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and a pinch of sea salt if using. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed.
  6. Cover and refrigerate mixture for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  7. Pour chilled mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to manufacturer’s instructions (20-30 minutes). If no ice cream maker, pour into shallow freezer-safe container and stir vigorously every 30 minutes until frozen and scoopable (3-4 hours).
  8. Just before serving, pour chilled prosecco into glasses and spoon sorbet on top to create a refreshing fizz.

Notes

Do not over-simmer rhubarb to avoid bitterness. Chill the sorbet base thoroughly before freezing to prevent icy crystals. Add prosecco float just before serving to keep bubbles lively. If no ice cream maker, stir sorbet every 30 minutes while freezing for best texture.
