RHUBARB AND PUDDING BARS



Rhubarb and Pudding Bars image

The BEST layered rhubarb dessert ever. Loaded with lots of flavor. I got this recipe from an old co-worker, so I don't know where it originally came from. Also, keep refrigerated, but it doesn't last too many days before the top becomes moist in a covered container. Don't add pudding and cool whip until day-of serving - maybe experiment with other storage ideas? Yum!

RHUBARB CUSTARDS



Rhubarb Custards image

This dessert couldn't be simpler. Unlike many custards, it doesn't require a hot-water bath. Shallow gratin dishes, shown here, allow the rhubarb to spread out and cook evenly. You can also use 4-inch ramekins (2 inches deep). Simply give the rhubarb a stir halfway through step 1.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Time 1h30m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

Unsalted butter, for dishes
3/4 cup sugar, plus more for dishes
12 ounces rhubarb, trimmed and cut crosswise 1/4 inch thick
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, plus 1 large egg yolk
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350. Butter six 5 1/2-inch gratin dishes (1 inch deep), and dust with sugar; arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup sugar, and divide among dishes. Cover each first with parchment and then with foil, and bake until rhubarb is just beginning to release liquid and soften, about 30 minutes. Leave oven on.
  • Puree milk, cream, flour, eggs and yolk, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth. Divide mixture evenly among dishes. Bake, uncovered, until just set, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm rhubarb: Look for stalks that are bright red or pink, with no blemishes or bruises.
  • Cut rhubarb into small pieces: This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from becoming too mushy.
  • Don't overcook the rhubarb: It should still have a slight crunch when you bite into it.
  • Use a variety of spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger are all classic spices that pair well with rhubarb.
  • Serve rhubarb pudding bars warm or cold: They're delicious either way!

Conclusion:

Rhubarb pudding bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for a summer potluck or picnic, and they also make a great snack or dessert for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying treat that everyone will love.
