These Rhubarb and Ginger Trifles are a rhubarb recipe you can make with only two stalks of rhubarb and it will feed a family of four. I usually have a pack of trifle sponges or some sponge fingers in my larder, they are ideal to pair with fruit because a trifle will stretch the most meagre of ingredients into a feast.
