  • Cooking time: Less than 60 minutes
  • Serves: 4
  • Type: Cake

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch rhubarb, trimmed, chopped
  • ½ cup caster sugar, plus
  • 1½ tablespoons extra
  • 6 sheets filo pastry
  • 60g butter, melted
  • 1 cup thick vanilla custard

Preparation method

  1. Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine rhubarb and sugar. Set aside 1 hour.
  3. Working with one sheet of filo at a time, brush ends with butter, sprinkle with extra sugar and layer together.
  4. Cut pastry into 12 equal rectangles. Arrange on tray. Cover with baking
    paper and top with a second tray to weigh down. Bake 8-10 minutes, until crisp and golden. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Transfer rhubarb mixture to a medium saucepan. Stir on low heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer 3-4 minutes, until rhubarb is just softened. Cool.
  6. Spoon 1 heaped tablespoon each of custard and rhubarb onto 4 pastry crisps. Repeat layers once, finishing with pastry.

TOP TIP

  • Rhubarb can be replaced with a 300g packet of mixed frozen berries – reduce cooking time by 2 minutes. You could also use sliced fresh trawberries.
