Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9-inch round flan dish or pie plate.
-
In a saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb and sugar over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the rhubarb is soft and the sugar has dissolved, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
-
Slowly whisk the warm cream mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
-
Pour the rhubarb mixture into the bottom of the prepared flan dish.
-
Carefully pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb in the dish.
-
Place the flan dish in a larger baking pan and fill the pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish to create a water bath for even baking.
-
Bake the Rhubarb Flan in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
-
Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
-
Before serving, dust the top of the chilled Rhubarb Flan with powdered sugar, if desired.
-
To serve, slice the Rhubarb Flan into wedges and enjoy the creamy goodness with a perfect balance of rhubarb tanginess and sweet custard.
