This baked rhubarb custard recipe is a great dessert and an excuse to use up any surplus rhubarb from the garden.
This recipe came from a low carb forum and was useful as I had a surplus of rhubarb in the kitchen. It was lovely and I was pleasantly surprised. Very easy to make too! I used erthyritol for the sugar substitute but you could use the sugar substitution of your choice here. After eating this, I was wonder about other flavours for this...ginger would be nice and cardamon interesting too...

½ cup water
1 cup cream

The juice in the rhubarb turned the custard into a watery mess. Also, was way too sweet but xylitol might be sweeter than erythritol.

That's a shame!

Absolutely fabulous. Baked it as one whole dish in a dish of water. Superb!

These look delicious. Do you need to bake them in a bain marie or are they robust enough to go as is?
Elderflower is also excellent with rhubarb.

I just baked them in an oven as they are. Loving the idea of elderflour too!!

This sounds very much like a Clafoutis/Flaugnarde.How long do you think the pots would keep in the fridge?

About 3 - 4 days...then zap it in a microwave to bring it back to life!
