📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

4. Spread the 4 cups of chopped rhubarb evenly over the partially baked crust.

5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 3 eggs until well beaten. Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups of granulated sugar and 0.25 cups of all-purpose flour until smooth and combined.

6. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the custard mixture is fully incorporated.

7. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the rhubarb layer.

8. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the edges are lightly golden.

9. Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully set before serving.

10. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy, tangy, and sweet rhubarb custard dessert!
