How to Make Rhubarb Custard Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes.
  4. While the crust is baking, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl until well combined.
  5. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped rhubarb.
  7. Pour the rhubarb filling over the hot crust.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center.
  9. Remove from oven and increase oven temperature to 400°F (200°C).
  10. In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Add salt and vanilla.
  11. Gradually add sugar, continuing to beat until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  12. Spread the meringue evenly over the hot filling, sealing the edges to the crust.
  13. Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown and lightly toasted.
  14. Let the dessert cool completely on a wire rack before refrigerating. Serve chilled.
