Instructions

  1. Start by making the prebaked Pie Crust (see link)
  2. For the rhubarb syrup, combine juice and sugar in a pot, let come to a boil, reduce the temperature and let simmer until thickish and about 1/3 of the original amount.
  3. For the rhubarb filling combine all the ingredients in a pot, let come to a boil and let bubble away on medium heat until you reach a jam consistency. Let cool completely and spread on your prebaked Pie Crust.
  4. To make the maple buttermilk filling, combine the lemon zest, brown sugar, egg yolks, and flour in a medium bowl. Whisk until the flour is lump free. Gradually add the maple syrup, stirring. Then the buttermilk, vanilla, and sea salt.
  5. Pour the filling into the Pie Crust and bake at 165 Celsius for about an hour.
  6. Let the Pie cool completely and chill it the fridge for a few hours, preferably overnight.
  7. Before serving, whip 200 g of cream with the vanilla and powdered sugar and decorate your Pie whimsically with whipped cream and rhubarb syrup.
