Rhubarb Meringue Delight
Ingredients
  • 1 (9 inch) unbaked single pie crust
  • 3 cups chopped fresh rhubarb
  • 1 1/4 cups white sugar, divided
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 3 large eggs, separated, divided
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
Take a pie crust and press it into the shape of a 9-inch pie dish; spread rhubarb evenly over the crust to create an even layer.
3
Mix together 1 cup of sugar, half-and-half, egg yolks, flour, and salt in a bowl until you achieve a smooth consistency; pour this mixture over the rhubarb layer.
4
Place your pie in the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and the filling has set, taking approximately 50 to 60 minutes.
5
Just before your pie is done baking, whip egg whites in a suitable bowl until they become frothy and airy.
6
Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar to your egg whites, along with a pinch of cream of tartar; continue whipping until the meringue reaches a glossy and stiff peak consistency.
7
Remove your pie from the oven; use a spoon or spatula to spread the meringue evenly over the entire filling, creating decorative swirls as desired.
8
Replace your pie in the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned.
9
Allow your pie to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving and enjoying.
