Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Rhubarb Rinsed, dried and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • Grated Nutmeg
  • 2 1/2 cups Whole Milk
  • 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 Egg Yolk
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 cup Cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Add the rhubarb to a shallow baking dish and toss with the sugar and nutmeg to coat. Arrange in a single layer.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  • While the rhubarb is cooking, in a medium saucepan, stir together the milk and sugar over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
  • While the milk is coming to a simmer, add the eggs to a mixing bowl and whisk in the cornstarch until smooth.
  • Slowly whisk 1/3 cup of the hot milk into the egg mixture until smooth. This will temper the eggs and stop them from curdling or cooking.
  • Pour the egg and milk mix back into the pan with the milk and whisk over low heat until thickened.
  • Once the custard has thickened, remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the vanilla and mix until well incorporated.
  • Divide the rhubarb between 4 shallow bowls. Pour over the custard and serve immediately.
