How to Make Dreamy Rhubarb Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add ¼ cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  4. Press the dough into an ungreased 8x8 inch square baking pan.
  5. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  6. While the crust is baking, prepare the rhubarb filling: In a separate bowl, combine 4 cups chopped rhubarb, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. Once the crust is baked, let it cool slightly. Pour the rhubarb filling evenly over the crust.
  8. Bake for an additional 35 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
  9. Let cool completely before serving. Serve warm with whipped cream, plain cream, or ice cream.
