Description

A classic dessert featuring a sweet and tangy rhubarb filling baked in a rich, smooth custard and a flaky pie crust.


Ingredients

Scale

1 unbaked pie shell
3 c. chopped rhubarb
1 1/4 c. granulated sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 c. heavy whipping cream
3 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt


Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F.
  2. Step 2: Place the chopped rhubarb into the unbaked pie shell, spreading it out evenly.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, beaten eggs, heavy whipping cream, flour, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Step 4: Carefully pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb in the pie shell.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F.
  6. Step 6: Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F and continue to bake for an additional 40 minutes.
  7. Step 7: The pie is done when the custard is mostly set. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
  8. Step 8: Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

The very center of the pie may be a little jiggly when you take it out of the oven; it will finish setting as it cools.

Ensure the pie is completely cool before slicing to allow the custard to set properly.
