Steps

1 hour 55 mins

1

Mix the ingredients for the crust together in a bowl.
2

Pat the mixture into an 11x8 baking pan and bake in the oven at 350 for 10 minutes.
3

Mix the egg yolks, whipping cream, sugar, and flour in a mixing bowl.
4

Mix in the finely chopped rhubarb.
5

Pour the filling on top of the crust and bake in the oven at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
6

For the next steps with the meringue, DO NOT USE PLASTIC! This will kill your meringue due to oils in the plastics. Use metal or glass!
7

To make the meringue, add the egg whites, cream of tartar, and almond extract. Beat until foamy.
8

Slowly and gradually add the sugar one tablespoon at a time until each tablespoon is completely mixed in before you add the next.
9

Using a metal spoon and knife, place the meringue on the baked custard. Add some swirls to make it look nice.

Finally bake for 10 - 15 minutes at 350.
