Rhubarb Fluff
"Absolutely delicious! This old fashioned dessert never fails to please, one of my favourite Rhubarb desserts. Being a very very old recipe, one has to keep in mind that todays rhubarb is so much sweeter, you may wish to cut back on the sugar ... depending on just how much sweetness you prefer."
