- This show-stopping tart takes time to make but the results are oh so worth it! Ideal for a baking project that’s sure to impress family and friends.
How long will it take?
4 ½ hours including chilling time
What’s the serving size?
Serves 6-8
What do I need?
700g rhubarb
½ vanilla bean
50g caster sugar
Juice of half a lemon
For the tart base
180g plain flour
55g icing sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
115g cold butter, cut into small cubes
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For the crème patisserie
250ml full cream milk
4 large egg yolks
2 tbsp caster sugar
1 tbsp cornflour
1 tbsp plain flour
½ vanilla bean
100ml thickened cream
How do I make it?
For the tart base
Pulse flour, icing sugar and salt in a food processor for a few seconds until combined.
Add butter and pulse until mixture becomes crumbly.
Add egg and vanilla pulse until the dough starts to clump together. Do not over-process the dough; you want a crumbly mix rather than a large ball.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. Flatten a little with your hands to form a thick disc. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Remove dough from fridge and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes; this will make it easier to roll. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a circle that is 5 centimetres larger than the tart pan you are using. Roll dough to be about 1.5mm thick.
Place dough into a greased and floured tart tin (with a removable bottom) and use a sharp knife to trim the excess dough from the edges so that the pastry fits the tart pan. Place tart pan in the freezer until the dough is firm, about 30 minutes; this stops the dough shrinking during cooking.
To bake preheat oven to 180C.
Press baking paper tightly against the crust, covering the edges to prevent them from burning. Fill with pie weights or uncooked rice, making sure they are evenly distributed over the entire surface.
Bake crust for 30 minutes, remove the filling and paper and bake uncovered for another 5 minutes. Allow to cool in the tin.
For the rhubarb
Prepare rhubarb by cutting into approx. 3 centimetre pieces. For best presentation, try to use pieces that are the same width. Put the vanilla pod, sugar, lemon juice, rhubarb and enough water to just cover the rhubarb in a wide frying pan over a low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until the rhubarb is starting to soften. Remove from the heat and leave to cool in the syrup for at least 1 hour. This will ensure the rhubarb is perfectly cooked, but still holding its shape.
For the crème patisserie
Make the crème patisserie by heating the milk and vanilla seeds in a saucepan over a medium heat until nearly boiling. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cornflour and flour together in a large bowl until pale. Keep whisking while you pour the hot milk over the egg mixture. Clean the saucepan and strain the liquid back into the saucepan through a sieve. Heat over a medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the mixture has a thick custard consistency. Scrape into a clean bowl, cover the surface with beeswax wrap or cling film to prevent a skin from forming and chill in fridge until cold.
Remove the rhubarb from the syrup and set aside. Heat the syrup until it comes to the boil and cook until the syrup is thick. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
To finish the crème patisserie, whisk cream to soft peak stage and fold through the chilled mixture.
Remove the pastry case from the tin and put on a serving plate. Fill with the crème patisserie. Place rhubarb pieces on top, trimming if necessary to get a good coverage. Use a pastry brush to glaze the tart with the rhubarb syrup. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
It's definitely a useful video, this is exatly what i was looking for. And i wonder why it has so few views . I mean, it's hard to find a rhubarb tart recipe with that kind of serving. There are usually lots of simple recipes without of any tricky little jobs. And there is such a detailed recipe in the description. Anyway, thank you so much, i'm gonna try it soon )
