Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh rhubarb
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 120 ml Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with butter or baking spray.
Wash the rhubarb thoroughly and trim off any stringy outer layers. Cut the rhubarb stalks into 1-inch pieces.
Spread the rhubarb evenly across the bottom of the greased dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and flour until well combined.
Add the eggs to the sugar mixture and whisk until the mixture is smooth and light in color.
Gradually add the heavy cream and whole milk to the egg mixture, whisking continuously. Then stir in the vanilla extract and salt until combined.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the prepared rhubarb in the baking dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the custard is set and slightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the rhubarb custard to cool for about 15 minutes before serving. The custard will continue to set as it cools.
Serve warm or chilled, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
