Baking & Serving Tips

Make sure to get the most enjoyable and best experience out of our pies by following the baking instructions and serving tips below. These instructions are specific to Rhubarb Custard Pie. If you would like instructions for a different pie, please check that page.

Freshly Baked

If your Rhubarb Custard Pie is already baked, please store it in the fridge. For best results, the pie should be consumed within 4 days of purchase. Before serving please remove from fridge and leave at room temperature for 45 minutes. To warm, bring to room temperature for 45 minutes, and then place in preheated oven at 350°F. Warm a 9” pie for 20 minutes and a 5” for 10 minutes.

Frozen

If your Rhubarb Custard Pie is frozen, please store in the freezer until you are ready to bake and consume. For best results, the pie should be baked within 3 months of purchase. To bake, place pie on baking sheet (line with parchment paper to reduce mess) and place in preheated oven at 350°F. Bake a 9” for 90-120 minutes and a 5” for 50-60 minutes.

Once baked, cool the Rhubarb Custard Pie for a minimum of 1 hour before serving. The bottom of the pie tin should remain warm to the touch. If it is served too hot, the pie's consistency will be too runny.

If your pie has a crumble top, make sure the middle of the crumble doesn’t appear wet or jiggly.

Tips

Make sure the middle of the crumble doesn’t appear wet or jiggly.
With oven mitts on, tilt the baking sheet slightly. If the pie has a lot of juices flowing out it is not quite ready and you will have an under-baked crust. Pie juices should bubble and appear thickened and sticky when ready.
If the pie crust is getting too dark (especially the edges), lightly cover with aluminum foil to protect the crust.
Want to freeze an already baked pie? While it is not best practice, it can be done. To thaw after freezing, place frozen pie in fridge for 12 hours and then follow Freshly Baked instructions above.
The warmer the pie, the messier the cut. The sugar in the pie will become more fluid as it warms. Keep this in mind when serving that ‘perfect’ slice.

~ Valeria ~ said: A wonderful surprise

As we slowly work through Jenell's whole pie list, we were very pleasantly surprised by this wonderful delight. Not usually a fan of crumble topping, this pie (frozen) will be one of our go-to's. So many mmmmm's going on after this was cut and served. I personally, think the ingredient ratios are perfect. Other than cream pies I prefer to buy frozen and to bake at home for the most perfect 'Perfect'.

The sound you most want to hear when serving food to people! Thank you so much for the review Valeria :)

Matt Westphal said: A must for rhubarb lovers!

I love rhubarb, so I was definitely interested in trying this pie (even more than the excellent Strawberry Rhubarb Pie). I enjoyed the creaminess of the custard, and the blend of that with the sweet buttery crumble topping and the tartness of the rhubarb making it a bit less sweet than most pies. For me it's 4.5 stars, since I would have liked a bit more rhubarb. But overall it's a winner!

Thanks very much Matt! Glad you liked it :)

Victoria Johnson said: So yummy

The tartness of the rhubarb is perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the custard. Wrap that with flaky and buttery crust and you have perfection right there! 9” is the perfect size for this pie in my opinion!

Excellent! Thanks Victoria :)

We’ve just had the rhubarb pie and its now our favourite! Hopefully it will be available more often than just the spring.

Awesome! Happy to help with the fave finding ;) Unfortunately, rhubarb is the polkaroo of vegetables ;P

Kim D said: Delicious Father’s Day Treat

Thank you for another wonderful pie!!! Bought this frozen one and 2 small cooked ones (chunky monkey and vegan strawberry/rhubarb) to satisfy everyone for our dinner. They were all delicious. The custard had unfortunately dripped all underneath the pie plate and box but it worked out.

You are very welcome! Sorry for the messiness. Glad you could enjoy them all the same :) Thanks for the review Kim.

Talia Phillips said: Yummy rhubarb pie

Loved this pie. It was perfectly tart and creamy and you simply cant go wrong with pie hole crumble. Yummy!

Awesome! The rhubarb pies are a real seasonal treat so you're smart to gobble em up while they're hear! Thanks Talia.

Barbara said: Delicious

The Rhubarb Custard pie was tasty, but could have used a little more filling. It was overpowered by the crust and crumble.

Glad you liked it all the same Barbara. Thanks :)

Stacy Wang said: Heavenly!

This pie gets an A+! Sour rhubarb wrapped in creamy custard & topped with sweet crumble, scrumptious! Rhubarb is my favourite summer ingredient for pie, and this is the best rhubarb pie I’ve had!

Rhubarb was born to be in pies. We try to do it justice. So glad to hear it worked! Thanks for the review Stacy :)

Lisa and Rob said: Absolutely Delicious

We’ve loved every single pie we’ve ordered from The Pie Hole. Absolutely delicious. Our continued fav is the Raspberry Cream Crumble. The Blueberry Goat Cheese Basil pie is a close second.

No surprise the cousins are neck and neck ;) Thanks for the review you guys!

becho1@telus.net said: THE BEST PIE

This Rhubarb Custard is one of my favourites because I am more of a tart pie person. The crust on top is one of the best things about the pie and the custard is just enough sweet to balance out the tartness of the rhubarb. I always order the one when it is available and look forward to its return every time!
So glad The Pie Hole is back, we've missed you!!!

Thanks for the Rhubarb Custard love, Betty. We missed you too ;)
