Description

A delightful dessert that balances the tartness of fresh rhubarb with a creamy custard, all nestled in a buttery crust.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 cups fresh rhubarb (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, and cold butter. Mix until crumbly.
  3. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, flour, cream, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  5. Scatter chopped rhubarb evenly over the baked crust.
  6. Pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the custard is set but jiggles slightly.
  8. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least an hour before slicing.

Notes

For a lighter option, consider using natural sugar substitutes or dairy alternatives.
