Description

A stunning and delicious tart with a buttery crust filled with sweet-tart rhubarb, perfect for showcasing the vibrant flavors of spring.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 12 tablespoons ice water
  • 3 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
  2. For the crust: In a food processor, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water one tablespoon at a time and pulse until the dough just comes together.
  3. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork and chill for 15 minutes.
  4. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  5. For the filling: In a large bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Toss well to coat.
  6. Spread the rhubarb mixture evenly into the cooled crust.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the rhubarb is tender.
  8. Allow the tart to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • For a decorative touch, arrange thin rhubarb strips in a pattern over the filling before baking.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
