The only thing to survive yesterday’s dessert mass extermination was my Rhubarb Vanilla Crumble Tart. As much as I knew it should get tossed into the garbage with the rest of the sweets, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. 1) It was much more complicated and time-consuming to put together than the other desserts, so I was hesitant to trash something I had worked hard on. 2) Mouse loves anything rhubarb, so I can count on him to help me eat it. 3) I was able to incorporate one of my weekend-finds, honey powder, into the dough recipe, which lent a subtle complexity to the crust that I fell in love with. 4) I just really like this dessert. The combination of the tart rhubarb, with the sweet crust and crumble topping is wonderfully delicious. So, I’m granting this dessert a reprieve and allowing myself just one more slice. See below for the recipe if you want to give it a try. (BTW – Thanks to Smitten Kitchen for the compote recipe!)
