Rhubarb Custard Pie

Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, and nutmeg to make the dry mixture.

Step 1:

Toss the rhubarb in the dry ingredients – this helps to suspend the rhubarb evenly throughout the custard filling.

Step 2:

Whisk together orange zest, vanilla extract, heavy cream, and eggs in a small bowl. Thoroughly beat the eggs into the mixture.

Step 3:

Pour the custard into the rhubarb mixture and gently stir.

Step 4:

Gently pour the rhubarb custard mixture into the unbaked pie crust.

Step 5:

Dollop pieces of butter over the top of the custard pie mixture.

Step 6:

Bake for 45-50 minutes, covering the crust loosely with aluminum foil after the first 20 minutes. Remove the pie from the oven and cool on a wire rack until room temperature. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.

Step 7:

Slice this sweet custard pie and serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
