Mom’s Rhubarb Custard Torte

My mother made this often while I was growing up. She’s been gone for 13 years, but I still make this at least once a year to rave reviews. No one has ever had anything like this but anyone who likes rhubarb loves it. It makes a lot, but when my husband takes this to work, I only get the empty pan back! Prep time is based on having to cut your rhubarb. If already cut, reduce to 30 minutes.

Baked Fruit Buckley

Super-easy way to make a baked fruit dessert. It makes a nice autumn treat. This isn’t a fruit crisp, nor a buckle, nor a cobbler nor a betty, hence the name. It comes closer to the German Kaiserschmarrn. You can use peaches, pears, nectarines, whole blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or a combination of fruits (or frozen berries), plus raisins if you like them.

Mango Passion Fruit Crumble

I live in Cambodia, and from January to May the markets are always full of ripe juicy mangoes. The problem is, I’ve never really found a way to use them in a dessert. So when I was looking at a recipe for an apple crumble I decided to substitute the apple with mango and with a few of my own alterations, it’s been a family favorite! The passion fruit really brings that extra tangy taste to the mangoes. Serve this dish with vanilla ice cream or even some plain youghurt, it’s delicious.
