Frozen Rhubarb Dessert

"This delicious dessert is perfect to make ahead and freeze for a large gathering on Mother's Day or the long Victoria Day Weekend. The texture of the filling is similar to semifreddo, which is Italian for half-frozen, and contrasts nicely with the crunchy crust. Prepare the crust and rhubarb mixture ahead of time for quick assembly later."
