Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Custard
2 (13.5-oz.) cans unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
5 large egg yolks
3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. sugar
1/3 cup cornstarch or 1/2 cup tapioca starch (if keeping Passover, use tapioca starch)
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil, room temperature
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Crust
2 2/3 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 large egg whites
3 Tbsp. virgin coconut oil, room temperature
2 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
Rhubarb Syrup and Assembly
2 1/4 tsp. kosher gelatin
1/2 cup strawberry jelly
1 lb. rhubarb, cut into 1/3" pieces
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Special Equipment
A 10" tart pan with removable bottom

Steps:

  • Custard
  • Bring coconut milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Whisk egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a medium bowl to combine. Whisking constantly, gradually add 1 cup warmed coconut milk to egg yolk mixture. Whisking constantly, add egg mixture to milk mixture in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, 7 minutes (mixture should start bubbling halfway through and thicken to a pudding consistency, but be sure to cook the full 7 minutes).
  • Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Immediately whisk in coconut oil and vanilla. Cover bowl with plastic, pressing on surface of custard. Chill until set, at least 2 hours.
  • Do Ahead: Custard can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
  • Crust
  • Preheat oven to 325°. Toast coconut on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden, 7-10 minutes. Let cool.
  • Lightly coat tart pan with nonstick spray. Mix toasted coconut, egg whites, oil, sugar, and salt with a rubber spatula in a large bowl until combined and the consistency of a stiff paste.
  • Transfer coconut mixture to tart pan. Using your hands, press mixture evenly onto bottom and up sides of pan. Bake crust until edges are lightly brown and bottom is set and just barely golden, about 10 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack and let crust cool.
  • Do Ahead: Crust can be baked 1 day ahead. Wrap with plastic and store at room temperature.
  • Rhubarb Syrup and Assembly
  • Sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup water in a small bowl. Let sit 10 minutes.
  • Combine jelly and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add bloomed gelatin and mix to combine. Add rhubarb, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until rhubarb is lighter pink in color and slightly softened, 2-4 minutes depending on thickness of stalks. Mix in lemon juice. Turn off heat and let rhubarb come to room temperature in syrup (about 1 hour). Strain cooled rhubarb through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl; reserve syrup.
  • Whisk chilled custard until creamy. Spoon custard into tart shell; smooth with an offset spatula.
  • Scatter rhubarb in an even layer over custard. Pour 1/4 cup rhubarb syrup over fruit, tilting pan to evenly distribute. Chill 20 minutes, then repeat with 1/4 cup rhubarb syrup. Chill tart at least 3 hours and up to overnight before serving.

RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE



Rhubarb Custard Pie image

Rhubarb, technically a vegetable, is known for its very tart flavor and the fact that only the stalks are edible. There are many varieties of rhubarb which account for how the stalks vary in color from a deep red to a pale green. Although the flavor is delicious on all kinds, this pie looks prettiest with the red-stalked varieties. Look for thinner stalks, they will be more tender and less fibrous than thicker stalks.

Categories     dessert

Time 3h35m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 sheet refrigerated pie dough (from a 14.1-ounce package)
1 1/4 pounds rhubarb (about 6 medium stems), trimmed, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 4 1/2 cups)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, preferably Valencia
2 tablespoons orange juice, preferably Valencia
2 large eggs
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Fit the pie dough into a 9-inch pie plate, fluting the edges, and chill until set, about 15 minutes. Prick the bottom and sides with a fork, and then line the crust with aluminum foil. Fill with pie weights or dried beans and bake until the edges of the crust are just golden, 20 minutes. Remove the foil with the pie weights and continue to bake until the bottom of the crust is dry and lightly browned, another 10 to 15 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Toss the rhubarb with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and the orange zest and juice until well combined. Transfer to the crust and spread to form an even layer. Place the pie on a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk the eggs with the cream, flour and remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar until smooth, and then pour over the rhubarb. Bake until the pie is lightly browned, puffed and no longer wet in the center, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Before serving, lightly dust with confectioners' sugar.

RHUBARB MACAROON TART



Rhubarb Macaroon Tart image

Rhubarb makes any dessert a showstopper, but this tart has more than meets the eye. Under the fruit is a luscious vanilla custard nestled in a chewy macaroon shell. When shopping, look for rhubarb that is about 1/2- to 3/4-inch wide; any bigger and the stalks might start to fall apart in the poaching liquid before the center becomes tender, and any smaller and you'll need to keep a close eye, since they'll cook quickly. While the rhubarb topping is a show-stopper, freshly sliced fruit makes a great understudy if you can't find robust pink stalks.

Time 4h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (14-ounce/400 gram) bag sweetened, shredded coconut (about 5 cups)
Butter, for greasing
4 large egg whites
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 3/4 cups/420 milliliters whole milk
1/4 cup/60 milliliters heavy cream
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1/2 teaspoon rose water (optional)
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract)
1 3/4 pounds/800 grams medium rhubarb stalks, cut into 4-inch batons

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Spread the coconut in an even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet and toast until deep golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes, tossing occasionally and keeping a close eye in the last 5 minutes to avoid burning. Let cool completely. Using butter, grease an 8 1/2-by-12-inch fluted rectangle or a 10-inch fluted round pan with a removable bottom. Line the bottom with parchment and grease the parchment with butter.
  • In a large bowl, combine the coconut, egg whites, sugar and salt; press into the prepared tart pan. Bake on a rimmed baking sheet until set, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Prepare the custard: Set a fine-mesh sieve over a medium bowl. In a separate medium bowl or a large glass measuring cup, whisk together milk, cream and egg yolks. Add sugar and cornstarch to a medium saucepan; gradually whisk in milk mixture until smooth. Add the 2 tablespoons butter and vanilla bean and seeds and cook mixture over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it has thickened and just come up to a low boil, 6 to 7 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for another minute. Pour custard through sieve, using a spatula to scrape it through and discarding any solids. Stir rose water into custard, if using, then pour mixture into prepared crust. Let cool slightly, then cover with plastic wrap pressed against the surface of the custard and chill until firm, at least 4 hours.
  • Prepare the rhubarb: In a medium pot, combine sugar, 2 cups water and the vanilla bean and seeds, and bring to a boil. Simmer until the sugar dissolves, about 2 minutes. Stir in rhubarb, simmer for 1 minute, and remove from heat. Let cool completely.
  • Gently remove the rhubarb from the cooled pot, letting the syrup drip back into the pot. Top the chilled tart with the rhubarb in a decorative pattern. Lift the tart out of the rim to serve.

RHUBARB CUSTARD TART



Rhubarb Custard Tart image

The secret to the success of this stunning rhubarb tart is blind-baking the crust. Pop it in the oven before making the filling, so it gets firm and crunchy, and you'll prevent a soggy bottom as the creamy custard and tart rhubarb stalks get baked in.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Time 2h25m

Yield Serves 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
4 to 5 tablespoons ice-cold water
1 pound rhubarb, halved lengthwise into 3/4-inch stalks if thick
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/3 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon pure vanilla paste or extract

Steps:

  • Dough: Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with some pea-size pieces remaining. Drizzle 4 tablespoons ice water over mixture; pulse several times to combine. Add more water as needed, pulsing until mixture holds together when pinched. Shape dough into a rectangle and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 1 day, or freeze up to 3 months; thaw completely in refrigerator before using.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 12-by-15-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer to a 9-by-12 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet or a fluted tart pan with a removable bottom, fitting dough into corners and folding over extra to create a double-layered edge. Refrigerate 15 minutes.
  • Line dough with parchment and fill to top with dry rice or beans, or pie weights. Bake until edges are golden and bottom is beginning to dry out, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove parchment and pie weights; continue baking until golden brown on bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes.
  • Filling: Meanwhile, cut rhubarb into 11-inch lengths (if some are shorter, that's okay). Using a sharp knife, score rhubarb along rounded sides on a diagonal at 2-inch intervals (this helps heat penetrate and break up the fibers, so the tart is easier to slice once cooked).
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar, flour, salt, eggs, cream, and vanilla; pour mixture into cooled crust. Arrange rhubarb lengthwise over top, scored-sides up; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar. Bake until tart is puffed, golden, and just set in center, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Let cool on a wire rack at least 1 hour before serving. To serve, run a spatula under tart to release from sheet, then slide onto a cutting board. Cut into squares; serve at room temperature or chilled. Tart is best eaten the day it's made, but can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day.

Tips:

  • To obtain a smooth custard filling, make sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are well combined and the sugar has dissolved.
  • For a golden-brown crust, brush the edges of the tart crust with an egg wash before baking.
  • To prevent the custard from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot milk mixture at a time.
  • To achieve a creamy custard filling, use full-fat milk and heavy cream.
  • For a tart with a more intense coconut flavor, use coconut cream instead of milk in the custard filling.
  • To add a touch of sweetness and crunch, sprinkle the top of the tart with granulated sugar before baking.
  • To prevent the rhubarb from becoming too tart, toss it with sugar and let it macerate for a few minutes before using.
  • For a more vibrant color, use fresh rhubarb that is in season.
  • If you don't have a tart pan, you can use a 9-inch pie plate instead.
  • To ensure that the tart is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the custard filling. If it comes out clean, the tart is done.

Conclusion:

This coconut custard and rhubarb tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy coconut custard filling, tangy rhubarb topping, and buttery shortbread crust, this tart is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
