Now that I have gotten the immediate need for an all rhubarb pie satisfied, I am moving on-but not too far. Rhubarb custard takes a close second in classic rhubarb pies. Deciding which version to make today was not an easy task. Double crust or single? 2 egg or 3 egg? crumb top, meringue or just straight up?
Let's see....single crust because I love to see the rhubarb on top surrounded by custard. Ditto for the topping-straight up for a rosy rhubarb view. Perhaps I'll add a dollop of whipped cream later. Finally, 3 egg for sure, because I like my custard thick and rich.

I've never had a rhubarb custard pie - always go for the old standard or maybe a strawberry rhubarb. It looks delicious!
