Super Easy Rhubarb Tarts
Do you have rhubarb in the yard or freezer? Well, get it in the kitchen to make these Super Easy Rhubarb Tarts!! I adore the flavor of rhubarb in many recipes.
It is unique and somewhat of a treat because it is not readily available all year round. These tarts along with a couple of other recipes that I will show you will have you enjoying rhubarb for as long as you can! Also, try our new Old-Fashioned Rhubarb Pudding Cake too for another delightful treat!
I am blessed to have a ruby red varietal of rhubarb that makes the prettiest of desserts!!
The stalks aren’t as tall or wide as some kinds of rhubarb but they are deep crimson in color, hence making your desserts gorgeously colored.
These tarts take very few ingredients to make. Plus everything can be made ahead and then they are assembled and served. I liked doing it this way to keep everything fresh!
I recently also made this amazingly moist and delicious Old Fashioned Rhubarb Loaf. The loaf is nice and moist from the inclusion of sour cream. In addition it will take you from breakfast to dessert!!
Our Rhubarb Strawberry Sour Cream Pie has been a hit in this household for years. It is luscious and creamy with a crunchy topping. The sour cream adds so much to this pie, as a result making it a real show stopper.
Our most popular recipe though by far has been these Rhubarb Dream Bars. These bars are very easy to make also and they are pretty in pink for a scrumptious summer treat!

These are SOO SO ADORABLE! I love that they’re easy but this means I can eat wayyy too many. But it’s got fruit so it’s healthy right? 😉
Catherine Sargent says
The tarts look so good and I like how easy they are to make. I don’t think I have ever had Rhubarb, but I would like to try it.
Jeanette says
Yum! All of these look delicious. I’ve made rhubarb jam before (mixed with strawberries to sweeten it), but these tarts and the bread look like something else I need to try! I love the tartness of rhubarb as well as the beautiful color!

All of these desserts look amazing. I will have to start with the Rhubarb Strawberry Sour Cream Pie. Then the tarts.
Tammi Roy says
I love rhubarb. These recipes all look delicious. I will have to get the ingredients I need to make the tarts this weekend.
Liz Mays says
I want that kind of rhubarb in my yard. I am a HUGE rhubarb lover, and all of your desserts here look glorious!
janis says
I love how cute these mini rhubarb tarts are! The mint leaf on top was a great touch too.
Elizabeth Lampman says
I have a ton of Rhubarb I need to use up. I will have to try the tart recipe tomorrow. The kids are going to love them.
Gail says
Can these be frozen
Tara Noland says
I would just freeze the filling not the whole tart and make them fresh.
Barb Haug says
Can you use frozen rhubarb for the tarts
Thanks for your reply.
Tara Noland says
I would say yes because you are making the filling separately and you can cook it to the right consistency then.
Sharon Trout says
Has anyone actually made these?
Tara Noland says
I have many times and there are also 39 reviews with the stars on the recipe card. So good and so easy!!
Karen says
Rhubarb is not usually that red. When I cook mine down it has a greenish yellow color.
Tara Noland says
It really depends on the variety of rhubarb you have. Mine is deep red/burgundy. I will be adding a video soon and this new rhubarb comes out purple like blueberries!! It doesn’t add sweetness just color to the dessert.
Karen says
Thanks. We don’t have that verity here in Michigan. I thought of adding food coloring but I was a little afraid of what color might come out. Thanks again.
Tara Noland says
Have a poke around at farmers markets you may be surprised what you find. Cheers!!
