Rhubarb & Strawberry Tart

Rhubarb! Strawberries! Spring!!!! Hooray. This means sun is on the way and all things delicious are making their way back into the produce section of the grocery store aisles.

The strawberries shine in this tart. They’re baked down which releases a lot more sweetness and pair so well with rhubarb, balancing out it’s tartness.

And the rhubarb. Sigh, I love it when it becomes almost neon in colour. Gorgeous as well as extremely delicious. Since it’s technically a vegetable we all get bonus points for eating this dessert, right?

This recipe is straightforward and if there was a way to provide you with the smell of the strawberry rhubarb mixture coming from the oven, I would. It was heavenly.

The rhubarb softening, strawberries releasing their sweet juices. All combined with vanilla. A scent that won’t fade for me for quite sometime.

The filling is a no cook citrus custard that is neither too sweet or too tart. A perfect pairing for the tart/sweet combo of strawberry rhubarb and the custard comes together quickly, which is brilliant for bakers like myself (aka those of us short on time).

How to prepare rhubarb:

Rhubarb is really easy to work with. It requires zero peeling and can be chopped up into whichever sized pieces and shapes you like. Add some sugar and water into a pot for a quick simmer for some simple, but delicious stewed rhubarb.

The main issue with cooking with rhubarb is that no leaves of the rhubarb are consumed. A small amount can make people sick (from the oxalic acid found in the leaves).

This post is apart of #StrawberriesAreTheJam collaboration and there are a ton of blogger links to more strawberry recipes below the recipe card. Special thanks to Rebecca from Square Meal Round Table, Annie from What Annie’s Eating, and Joy from The Cooking of Joy for organizing another fun collaboration! The last collaboration was apples and I made this Birds Nest Apple Caramel Cake.

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Author: Samantha
Ingredients
  • 1 store-bought pie crust, defrosted
Lemon Cream Filling:
  • 1 cup crème fraîche (OR 1 cup whipping cream, whipped)
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 medium lemons, zest from both and juice from one divided
Rhubarb & Strawberry Topping:
  • 2 stalks rhubarb, trimmed and cut in half lengthwise and crosswise
  • 6 medium strawberries, trimmed and cut into halves
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste, or 1 vanilla bean halved and pods scraped out
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
Instructions
  1. Remove pie crust and place in a pie dish of your choice. I used a fluted pie tin and had to reshape the crust to fit the tin. Once placed in the tin, poke the pie crust with a fork all over. Place a piece of parchment paper of the crust and top with pie weights or beans (throw the beans away or reuse for same purpose later on. Don't eat them though). Follow package instructions and cook pie crust. Remove pie weights and parchment paper. Let cool completely.

  2. Preheat oven to 350° F. Place rhubarb, strawberries, vanilla, sugar and water in a small baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until rhubarb has softened and the mixture becomes fragrant. Remove from oven and let cool.

  3. Filling: in a medium bowl, whisk together crème fraîche, cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

  4. To assemble tart place filling in a completely cooled pie crust. Top with strawberry and rhubarb mixture. 

Tart filling inspired from Sunday Suppers Recipes & Gatherings.

How can it be Sunday night already?! All I know i How can it be Sunday night already?! 
All I know is I picked puzzles with the kids instead of prepping for the week ahead 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’ll catch up tomorrow 🤞🏻. 

These Banana Buckwheat Donuts are happening this week for school lunches. Kids dig them. I dig them. Done deal. I just need a hot 30 min to make them happen. 

A friend also turned the recipe into a loaf so there are options out there if you don’t have a donut 🍩 pan.

This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket loa This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket load of spinach into our diets before we leave the house for school and work. It's one of my long time smoothies that I make for my kids. 

We've had it a few days in a row now to help us hit reset in the new year. 

The omega oil is optional and I sometimes switch out the banana for a navel orange for a different flavour profile. Oh and if you're an Orange Julius fan, try a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract - you won't regret it!
