Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan, pressing it firmly against the bottom and edges. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edge and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb and sliced strawberries. Toss with 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and set aside for 10 minutes to allow the juices to release.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup of sugar, flour, and salt.
Add the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture, and whisk until smooth to form the custard filling.
Drain any excess liquid from the rhubarb-strawberry mixture, then spread the fruit evenly over the prepared pie crust.
Pour the custard filling over the fruit, ensuring it spreads evenly.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips, and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes or until the custard is set and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Optional: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
