Description

A tangy and sweet rhubarb tart with a buttery crust, perfect for spring and summer desserts.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 cups fresh rhubarb, chopped
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a food processor, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until dough begins to come together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and transfer it to a tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork.
  5. In a bowl, mix rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice.
  6. Pour the rhubarb filling into the tart shell and spread evenly.
  7. Brush the crust edges with beaten egg.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Cool completely before serving. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm rhubarb for best texture and flavor.
  • Chill the dough thoroughly to ensure a flaky crust.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
