Scroll to the end for the custard-filled rhubarb pie recipe!
When we moved into our house, we were lucky enough to already have a well-established rhubarb plant that yield a ton of the stuff every year.
I had actually never eaten rhubarb before, and I’m a little ashamed to admit we didn’t touch the poor plant for our first two years.
This year, I’m ready to experiment with the funky celery-looking stuff!
Strawberry rhubarb pie is what people usually think of, and you can even do a straight-up rhubarb pie without anything added.
But if you’re looking for something more rich and creamy to balance the sweet tart rhubarb flavor, this rhubarb custard pie recipe is exactly what you need!
P.S. This would be a great late summer or early fall dessert that you could pair with this grilled pizza recipe and apple cider sangria or iced tea with herbal ice cubes for a lovely al fresco dinner party!
