Product Information

Finally, you’ll bake your rhubarb custard in a water bath in the oven. That’s it! Super easy. Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Make This Recipe Next, mix in the dry ingredients: flour, custard powder and baking powder. Add them to the cooled butter mix and stir until combined. Pour in the vanilla and fold in the white chocolate, before pouring the mix into baking tin. Spoon the mixture into the prepared cupcake cases or lined tins and bake for 15-20 mins for the cupcakes or slightly longer for the sponges until golden and when a skewer inserted into the centre it comes out clean. One last thing: while I’ve given precise quantities below, bear in mind that these are based on the proportions of my trifle bowl, which is 20cm / 7½ inches diameter and 13cm / 5 inches deep. If you’re using a wider bowl, you will need to boost quantities or the layers will be too shallow. Drain the slices of rhubarb, reserving the syrup, and place on a baking tray lined with a silicone mat. Place in the oven for 25 minutes to dry out, then store in an airtight container until needed. Increase the oven temperature to 140C/120C Fan/Gas 1.

White chocolate - You will need about 200 g of white chocolate in total. I normally use bar of chocolate and chop it into small chunks. That said, you can use chocolate buttons, chips or wafers. Last week, I was dreaming of springtime desserts. I was about to travel, and I needed to prepare my blog posts beforehand. Therefore, I craved something really easy and satisfying to be able to handle this extra task in my busy schedule. As rhubarb cries for dairy to bind the oxalate, I decided to go for a creamy rhubarb custard. I have a go-to custard recipethat I have been using successfully with tart berries, like cranberries and lingonberries. It should work well with tart rhubarb, too, I contemplated.For this custard, you simply combine all custard ingredients in a bowl, whisk, and pour over the rhubarb mixture in the ramekins. Set aside 125ml / ½ cup of the rhubarb juices for now and measure out another 175ml / ¾ cup of the rhubarb juice (I should say that by the end of the forced rhubarb season it seems to make less liquid; if you don’t have enough, I suggest you make up the amount with orange juice), then add to it the red vermouth. Taste one teaspoon just for the joy of it, although once you do so, it will be hard not to drink the rest. After baking the creamy custard in the oven, I was ready to taste my creation. Oh mine, the taste was heavenly — a symphony of sweet, tart, and creamy flavors with a perfect accompaniment of vanilla. The texture was velvety, and the soft, cooked rhubarb has mixed in the custard creating mouth-watering contrast to the creamy custard. Blondies, just like brownies should be taken out of the oven, when they are still slightly under-baked. This is because they will continue to cook and set after you take them out of the oven. That is what gives them fudgy and gooey texture. If you prefer yours to be more cake-like, then simply add few more minutes to the baking time. Bake for about 45 minutes until the custards are almost firm. (The center should be slightly wobbly, but the edges firm.)

You can savour each flavour separately. But your tastebuds really zing to life when the two combine to make a truly classic boiled sweet.Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Shape the meringue mix either into a large circle or six smaller individual ones. Place in a preheated oven (120C / 250F / gas mark ¼) for an hour and a half until firm to the touch. Turn off the oven and leave the meringue inside for another 30 minutes. Firstly, the combination of rhubarb and custard is simply delicious. Different flavours and contrasting textures of these two are a true excitement for the taste buds. Tart and tender rhubarb plus sweet, velvety- smooth custard are just perfect together. There has been many combinations of these two ingredients in desserts over the years, but this one, by far, is my favourite. Meanwhile, prepare the honeycomb. Line a 20x25x3cm/16x18x1in baking tray with a silicone mat. Put 40m/1½fl oz water, and the honey, glucose and sugar in a deep, medium-sized saucepan and leave for a minute. Place the pan on a high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce to a medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, until you have a light golden-brown caramel. These delicious bars are made with a shortbread crust and a creamy rhubarb custard filling. To make these bars, prepare this cookie dough for a shortbread crust and press it in the bottom of a greased 9×13-inch (23×33-cm) baking pan. Top with the cooked rhubarb and the custard mixture. Bake the bars at 350 °F (175 °C) until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Let cool and cut into bars. Serve the bars warm or chilled. General Prattling Cook, uncovered, all the time, mixing over low heat until the rhubarb is soft, about 10—20 minutes.

Yes you can. Just remember that baking times will vary for different sizes. I tested this recipe in 8'x 8' square baking tin, 8' x 12' rectangular tin, and 9' round baking tin. For this delectable variation, add 1 cup (240 ml) of chopped fresh strawberries with the rhubarb to the saucepan and cook until soft. Proceed with the custard as directed. Variation 2: Sugar-Free Ginger Rhubarb Custard To make the buttercream, beat the butter in a freestanding mixer until light and soft. Add half of the icing sugar and the vanilla and cream together. Add the custard powder and the rest of the icing sugar along with 2 tbsp. of boiling water. Beat until smooth and fluffy. Make the best pie of the spring! Prepare a 3-Ingredient Pie Crust. Spread your cooked rhubarb on the prebaked crust and top with the custard mixture. Bake at 350 °F (175 °C) for about 45 minutes, or until the filling is almost set but still a bit wobbly in the center. Let cool and dig in! Variation 4: Low-Carb Rhubarb Custard Dessert I’m traveling this week to a beautiful Greek island called Kythnos. It has been quite a long time since I have been in Greece, and I have really missed the idyllic white houses, picture-perfect landscape, soft white sand, and the clear water this country lavishly offers for its visitors.

Place the pan with ramekins in the oven. Pour boiling water into the pan so that the water is halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Set aside 125ml / ½ cup of the rhubarb juices for now and measure out another 175ml / ¾ cup of the rhubarb juice (I should say that by the end of the hothouse rhubarb season it seems to make less liquid; if you don’t have enough, I suggest you make up the amount with orange juice), then add to it the red vermouth. Taste one teaspoon just for the joy of it, although once you do so, it will be hard not to drink the rest. Take off the heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda. (CAUTION: There will be a huge amount of frothing and bubbling and it will increase in volume by about 5 times. This is caused by the bicarbonate of soda reacting with the heat of the sugar, which produces the bubbles that will eventually create a crunchy honeycomb. Beware – it is a very pretty spectacle but children shouldn’t be allowed close.) Once the frothing has stopped, stir well to ensure that the bicarbonate of soda is well mixed, then carefully pour it into the lined tray. Allow to cool before turning out and breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container until needed.Rhubarb is a unique plant often considered a vegetable, but it’s typically treated as a fruit in culinary applications. Its long, red stalks have an exceptionally tart flavor, making them an excellent component for sweet dishes like pies, jams, and of course, custard desserts. Please note that rhubarb leaves are toxic and should not be consumed. As rhubarb is quite high in oxalate, make sure to consume calcium with it because calcium binds the oxalate, so it doesn’t wreak havoc in your intestines. Pour boiling water into the pan so that the water is halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake for about 45 minutes, until the custards are almost firm. (The center should be slightly wobbly, but the edges firm.) We sought out a master sweet maker - a craftsman with many years of experience. And we set him the challenge to create the best sweets we have ever tasted (and we taste a LOT!). The rhubarb tastes fresh and with just a hint of sharpness. And it is perfectly balanced by the rich, luxuriousness of the sweet, creamy custard.
