Strawberry Rhubarb Custard Pie

Cultural Context

Strawberry rhubarb pie is a classic American dessert, particularly popular in the spring when both strawberries and rhubarb are in season. This pie combines the tartness of rhubarb with the sweetness of strawberries, creating a delightful balance of flavors. Traditionally served at family gatherings and potlucks, it has become a beloved staple in many households. Modern variations include adding spices or different crusts, but the classic version remains a favorite.

90 min
medium
6 servings
Servings4
3 cups rhubarb, sliced
1 cup strawberries, quartered
1 single 9-inch pie shell (frozen)
3 large eggs
nutmeg (freshly grated)
flour
milk
sugar
1 tablespoon butter
strawberry preserves (optional)
water (for glazing)

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

1

Trim both ends of the rhubarb and slice into quarter-inch pieces.

2

Measure out 3 cups of sliced rhubarb.

3

Quarter the strawberries and remove the green tops, measuring about 1 cup.

4

Transfer the rhubarb and strawberries into the pie shell, spreading them evenly.

5

In a bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, freshly grated nutmeg, flour, milk, and sugar until well combined.

6

Slowly drizzle the custard mixture into the pie shell over the fruit, filling it just to the top without overflowing.

7

Dot the top of the pie with small pieces of butter.

8

Tap the pie gently to settle the filling.

9

Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 350°F for approximately 1 hour, rotating it halfway through after 30-35 minutes.

10

Check for doneness; the center should have a slight jiggle but not be liquefied.

11

Optional: Warm some strawberry preserves with a few drops of water and brush it over the exposed fruit for a glaze.

12

Allow the pie to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for a few hours before serving.

13

Serve the pie cold, optionally topped with whipped cream.
