Title: Rhubarb Flan

Ingredients:
– 2 cups chopped rhubarb
– 1 cup sugar
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup whole milk
– 4 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a 9-inch round flan dish or pie plate.
2. In a saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb and sugar over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until the rhubarb is soft and the sugar has dissolved, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
3. In a separate saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over low heat until it is warm but not boiling. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
5. Slowly whisk the warm cream mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly to prevent curdling.
6. Pour the rhubarb mixture into the bottom of the prepared flan dish.
7. Carefully pour the custard mixture over the rhubarb in the dish.
8. Place the flan dish in a larger baking pan and fill the pan with hot water halfway up the sides of the flan dish to create a water bath for even baking.
9. Bake the Rhubarb Flan in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the custard is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until completely cold.
11. Before serving, dust the top of the chilled Rhubarb Flan with powdered sugar, if desired.
12. To serve, slice the Rhubarb Flan into wedges and enjoy the creamy goodness with a perfect balance of rhubarb tanginess and sweet custard.
