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.
Scatter the chopped rhubarb evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt until well combined.
Add the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Whisk until smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the rhubarb in the pie crust.
Place the filled pie on a baking sheet to catch any possible spills, then carefully transfer it to the preheated oven.
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.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Optional: Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence.
