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.

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 CUSTARD PIE



Rhubarb Custard Pie image

In Grandmother's day, rhubarb was considered a "spring tonic". Although it's technically a vegetable, it is usually served as a fruit. At our house, we used the first rhubarb of the season to make this pie, and later in summer, we'd make a delicious drink with it, cooked, blended and mixed with strawberry punch.

RHUBARB CUSTARD PIE



Rhubarb Custard Pie image

A simple custard base lets the sweet-tart flavor of spring shine through in the sugar-coated pieces of rhubarb.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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

Time 2h25m

Yield Makes one 9-inch pie

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 recipe Pie Dough for Caramelized Apple Tart
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 pound rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (4 cups)
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a clean work surface lightly dusted with flour, roll out pate brisee to an 11-inch round (about 1/8-inch thick). Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate, and trim edges of dough with kitchen shears to a 1/2-inch overhang. Fold edges under, and press to seal using the tines of a fork. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
  • Line crust with parchment, leaving an overhang on all sides. Fill completely with pie weights, dried beans, or rice. Bake until bottom is dry, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove weights and parchment. Continue baking until bottom of crust is golden, 7 to 9 minutes more. Let cool.
  • In a bowl, toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar. Let stand 10 minutes. In another bowl, whisk together flour, remaining 1 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, butter, and heavy cream until smooth and combined. Pour filling into crust. Scatter rhubarb evenly over top, gently pressing into custard. Bake until puffed and golden in places and slightly wobbly in the center, 50 minutes to 1 hour (tenting with foil if browning too quickly). Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 1 hour. Refrigerate until ready to serve, about 1 hour and up to 1 day.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect rhubarb custard pie, start with a flaky, all-butter pie crust. This will provide a sturdy base for the pie and help to prevent the filling from leaking out.
  • Use fresh, tart rhubarb for the filling. This will give the pie a bright, flavorful taste.
  • Be sure to trim the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves before using. The leaves can be toxic.
  • To make the custard filling, use a combination of milk, cream, eggs, sugar, and cornstarch. This will create a thick, creamy filling that is perfectly complements the tart rhubarb.
  • Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature and continue baking until the custard is set.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the custard to firm up and the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Rhubarb custard pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, tart rhubarb filling, and creamy custard, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy-to-make dessert, give rhubarb custard pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
