Instructions
For the Maple Citrus Cream Cheese:
- Combine plain, unsweetened non-dairy cream cheese with lemon zest and maple syrup. Mix well and set aside.
For the Simple Stewed Rhubarb:
- Add rhubarb, sugar, and water to a small saucepan. Simmer over medium-low for about 15 minutes, or until rhubarb breaks down and mixture begins to thicken. Set aside to cool.
For the Sandwich:
- Toast bread. Spread Maple Citrus Cream Cheese generously on one side. Add 1 – 2 tablespoons of stewed rhubarb, top with fresh basil and close the sandwich with the second slice of bread. Slice and enjoy!

- Our Simple Stewed Rhubarb makes plenty! Save in the fridge for up to a week to use on toast, coconut yogurt, or oatmeal.- Don't feel like making stewed rhubarb from scratch? Use store-bought rhubarb compote or strawberry rhubarb jam. (Or choose your favourite sweet-tart jam—raspberry would be delicious!)
