Chef's tips

If your rhubarb is especially tart, add an extra 2–3 tablespoons of sugar to the filling; frozen rhubarb works well too and doesn't need thawing first.

Ingredient substitutions

  • rhubarba mix of rhubarb and wild blueberries
  • buttercold coconut oil for a dairy-free topping

Storage

Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Reheating

Warm in a 160°C oven for 10–15 minutes to re-crisp the topping.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Skipping the cornstarch, leaving watery filling
  • Using melted butter in the topping instead of cold, which makes it greasy instead of crumbly
