It is important that the custard sets in the glass you are going to serve it in or you will lose all the air bubbles and ultimately the lightness of the dessert. So, take each of the desserts from the fridge, top with custard, cover and return to the fridge to set for at least 3 hours, or overnight if you have the time. In terms of looks, they’re a wonderful combination of red and yellow (rhubarb custard, naturally) and they’re an extremely popular retro sweet – perhaps even more popular than rhubarb and custard as a dessert. As boiled sweets go, these are real classics, and it’s no surprise they have survived this long. While some custards do better cooked in a waterbath, this rhubarb custard dish is easy and successfully sets without a hot-water bath, but there are 3 key considerations. Tips to Set a Custard without a Water Bath:

Rhubarb time again!!!!!!!! So happy! I love this kind of seasonal product that makes one happy that either spring or autumn or whatever is there again: rhubarb, asparagus, and elderflower in spring or pumpkin in autumn, just wonderful. Custard - The recipe calls for two types of custard: powdered and ready-made. Powdered custard is used in the cake batter, to replace part of flour and create that delicious, buttery taste. Ready-made custard is used on top, along with rhubarb. But you can use only powdered custard in the whole recipe. See the recipe notes for instructions. In a small saucepan over a high heat, bring 100ml/3½fl oz water, the sugar and grenadine syrup to a gentle simmer. Add the shaved rhubarb slices, then turn off the heat and leave to cool for 10 minutes.Start to build your trifle before you make the custard. Place 40g/1½oz of the finely chopped cooked rhubarb in the bottom of each chilled glass. Top with 50g/1¾oz of the larger pieces of cooked rhubarb. Add 4 teaspoons of the reserved jelly liquid into each glass and place in the bottom of your fridge for 15 minutes, until the jelly has just set. Eggs - I have tested this recipe with 3 medium eggs, or two large eggs, and in both cases, it worked fine. Feel free to use whichever type you have available. How to make these blondies You might want to learn How to Freeze Rhubarb as well; the frozen pieces can be used for this dessert. Blondies, just like brownies should be taken out of the oven, when they are still slightly under-baked. This is because they will continue to cook and set after you take them out of the oven. That is what gives them fudgy and gooey texture. If you prefer yours to be more cake-like, then simply add few more minutes to the baking time. You need to use a little flour or a little cornstarch in the custard mix. Both of them will work, but I used 2 Tablespoon flour in the first batch, and 1 Tablespoon cornstarch in the second batch. I prefer the set with the cornstarch, but it is a little higher in carbs.

I also baked these in rectangular, 20cm x 30cm (8' x 12') baking pan. As it is shallower and has larger surface, baking time will differ. For fudgy and gooey texture, you will bake them for about 35- 40 minutes. Add another 5-10 minutes for more cakey texture. Take off the heat and stir in the bicarbonate of soda. (CAUTION: There will be a huge amount of frothing and bubbling and it will increase in volume by about 5 times. This is caused by the bicarbonate of soda reacting with the heat of the sugar, which produces the bubbles that will eventually create a crunchy honeycomb. Beware – it is a very pretty spectacle but children shouldn’t be allowed close.) Once the frothing has stopped, stir well to ensure that the bicarbonate of soda is well mixed, then carefully pour it into the lined tray. Allow to cool before turning out and breaking into pieces. Store in an airtight container until needed.Meanwhile, prepare the honeycomb. Line a 20x25x3cm/16x18x1in baking tray with a silicone mat. Put 40m/1½fl oz water, and the honey, glucose and sugar in a deep, medium-sized saucepan and leave for a minute. Place the pan on a high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce to a medium heat and cook for 5 minutes, until you have a light golden-brown caramel. Prepare the stalks: Discard the leaves; they are poisonous! Wash the stalks and chop them into 3 cm/ 1.2 inches pieces. We sought out a master sweet maker - a craftsman with many years of experience.

You need to match the size of the baking dish to the length of cooking time. If you use shallow baking dishes (i.e., 8 ramekins or a 1” pie plate) the custard will set in about 35 minutes. In a 9” pie plate it took 1 hour before it was properly set. It should be a bit jiggly when you shake it and have an internal temperature of 175 F or more.

For the jelly, in a small saucepan over a low heat, infuse the ginger and softened gelatine in the reserved juice for 5 minutes. Stir to dissolve the gelatine. Strain, reserving 80ml/2¾oz for building the trifle. Pour the remainder into a small bowl, cover and chill in the fridge.
