Description

Rhubarb Custard Bars are a delicious dessert featuring a buttery crust topped with a creamy rhubarb filling.


Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for filling)
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, ½ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon salt. Add the softened butter and mix until crumbly. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1 cup sugar, ¼ cup flour, vanilla extract, and baking powder until smooth. Fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  4. Pour the rhubarb mixture over the crust in the baking dish.
  5. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
  6. Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a sweeter flavor, you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the filling mixture.
  • Substitute the rhubarb with fresh strawberries or blueberries for a different fruity twist.
