This recipe was revised, photographed and updated 2/2022.

Happy hump day everyone! I'm so looking forward to the weekend!

I'm heading out for dinner and drinks with a couple friends to celebrate my birthday on Saturday and have an extra day off work on Monday. I just love those long weekends!

Today's recipe is so perfect for summertime and you can just about use any fruit combo. I used strawberry and rhubarb and it turned out phenomenal, but I bet others berries would be SO good too, especially cherries.

I just love graham cracker crust, the tartness of the rhubarb and the sweet, creamy pudding topping. I brought this to work with me when I made it, and everyone really liked it. We had the 9x13 pan gone pretty quickly.

This easy dessert is great for parties, BBQ's and potlucks, or if you're like my family, just because you're craving all things rhubarb!

Why can't you eat too much rhubarb? ›

Rhubarb is high in calcium oxalate. While the substance is mainly in the leaves, it's also found in the stalks. Too much calcium oxalate in your diet may lead to hyperoxaluria, which is the buildup of oxalate crystals in different organs.

Is A rhubarb A vegetable or a fruit? ›

Rhubarb is a vegetable often thought to be a fruit. There's actually a good reason for this confusion: in 1947 the USDA classified it as a fruit because the tariffs on bringing fruits into the country were lower on fruits than vegetables. In actuality though, rhubarb is a vegetable - a member of the buckwheat family.

Which fruit goes with rhubarb? ›

Rhubarb goes incredibly well with apples, citrus fruits, and berries–especially strawberries. While you could combine all of these flavors into a rhubarb crumble recipe, I kept it simple and classic. Apple, rhubarb and some orange zest are all you need.

What is the best thing to do with rhubarb? ›

Rhubarb is a truly special ingredient. With its vivid pink colour and distinctively tangy taste, it can be stewed, poached, roasted and puréed in a range of dishes as well as drinks. Use it in a comforting crumble, a classic syllabub, a fruity chutney or a zingy kebab sauce – the possibilities are endless.

Does rhubarb get sweet when cooked? ›

Rhubarb has an extremely tart flavor that many find unpleasant. It's crunchy like celery when raw, but it becomes soft and after it's cooked. The sour flavor does mellow a little when cooked, but rhubarb is almost always mixed with sugar to counteract the lip-puckering taste.

What can you pair with rhubarb? ›

While cinnamon may be a more common spice to pair with rhubarb, citrusy, herbal cardamon lends a warm, citrusy note to a dish. A big pinch of ground cardamom can be added to any cake, pie, or compote, or you can simply add a little to the whipped cream you'll be topping your rhubarb dessert with.

Is baked rhubarb good for you? ›

Rhubarb is rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins (which give it its red color) and proanthocyanidins. These antioxidants have anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties, which help protect you from many health-related issues such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
