If you're looking for a simple and tasty dessert that can be prepped in minutes, you'll definitely want to give this pie a try!

Why is it called a Magic Crust Custard Pie? When baking, the flour settles to the bottom of the pie plate, creating a "magic crust."

This pie turns into some amazing rhubarb custard goodness! It's sweet, eggy and so filling! The rhubarb adds a delicious tartness that goes so perfectly with the sweet custard.

It's become our "go-to" dessert when we need something quick. The ingredients are things we all typically have in our fridge and pantry, and while you're chatting with company, it can be baking in the oven!

Top with some freshly whipped cream, or sprinkle with powdered sugar for an extra special touch.

Recipe tips and substitution ideas:

• Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.

• A food processor may be used instead of a blender.

• To check if the pie is set, insert a toothpick or cake tester in the center of the pie. The toothpick will come out clean once the pie is ready. If needed cook for an additional 5 minutes, then re-check. Repeat if necessary.
