• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare your pie crust by rolling it out and pressing it into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.

Add the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 6

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the rhubarb in the pie crust.

Step 7

Place the filled pie on a baking sheet to catch any possible spills, then carefully transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for 35 more minutes, or until the custard is set and the top is lightly golden.
