Rhubarb Custard Pie

What You Will ❤️ About Rhubarb Custard Pie

• Easy! It’s simple to make – whisk custard, pour it into the pie and add the rhubarb!
• Rhubarb Flavor! A lot of people put strawberry with rhubarb but I love that tart & sweet flavor on its own.
• Sweet Tart! Not sure what rhubarb tastes like – well it’s very tart but also – when ripe – it’s got some sweetness as well. It’s not something to eat raw – but cooked in pies & bars – it’s so good!!!!

Rhubarb Custard Pie Ingredients

This is my favorite of my rhubarb recipes – and the ingredients are simple. Here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 pie crust – I’m a cheater and use frozen or refrigerated
• 1 lb rhubarb – I use frozen rhubarb for this all the time. You’ll need about 3-4 rhubarb stalks and/or 3/4 cups diced rhubarb (1/2-3/4 inch pieces)
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs 
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

How do you make Rhubarb Custard Pie recipe?

• Preheat oven to 400
  • Frozen Crust: Thaw pie 10 min at room temperature. Prick bottom and sides with fork. Add pie weights (or uncooked beans) and bake for 12-15 minutes. Remove weights and bake 10 min more.
  • Refrigerated Crust: Place pie dough in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp edges. Prick bottom and sides with fork. Add pie weights (or uncooked beans) and bake for 12-15 minutes.
• Let crust cool before filling.
• In a bowl, toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar and stir.
• In a separate large bowl, whisk together flour, remaining sugar, eggs, butter and heavy cream until smooth & combined. Pour custard mixture into cooled pie crust.
• Scatter rhubarb across entire pie. Feel free to push it down into the custard a little. Sprinkle a few additional tablespoons of sugar over the top of the pie.
• Bake at 400 for 50 minutes. Pie will be slightly puffed, golden brown and a little wobbly in the center. Be sure to cover crust edges with aluminum foil if it starts to brown too much.
• Transfer to a wire rack and cool for 1 hour. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
