This delicious traditional recipe reworked as a low calorie cheesecake is the perfect finale to any get together or even a cozy duvet day.
Each individual glass contains the flavours you know and love from a traditional rhubarb and custard tart with a few added warming spices for these chilly January days. Forced rhubarb can be found at this time of year which is a slightly more delicate colour as it’s grown in the dark, but if you are after that zingy pink colour for your creations then why not try adding in a few frozen raspberries into the stewed rhubarb stage, or have a search for frozen rhubarb instead.
