Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt.
- Add the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Spread the chopped rhubarb evenly into the prepared pie crust.
- Pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. Refrigerate any leftovers.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen rhubarb. If using frozen, thaw and drain it well before using.
- For a slightly less sweet pie, you can reduce the sugar by 1/4 cup if desired.
- This pie is delicious served chilled or at room temperature, optionally with a dollop of whipped cream.
