A delicious, comforting Rhubarb Pudding with a hint of vanilla, great served with custard or vanilla ice cream.
Rhubarb Pudding has been on my blog for many years so I decided to update the recipe and photography as so many people have been searching for it.
We’re well and truly in rhubarb season (April – June) and I find myself buying rhubarb like some rhubarb addict! I honestly can’t get enough of the stuff so am making hay whilst the sun shines.
This Rhubarb Pudding is based on a recipe from an old (1981) St Michael, 1000 Recipe Cook Book which I have adapted and added vanilla sugar to for an extra yummy flavour. Truly comforting this pudding really hits the spot and is fabulous served with custard (my favourite) or vanilla ice cream.
So simple to make, you start off as if you’re making a Crumble. Butter or margarine is rubbed into flour, sugars and rhubarb added and then milk is beaten in to form a thick batter.
This Rhubarb Pudding will serve 4 greedy people of 6 not so greedy people.
Can you reheat Rhubarb Pudding?
Yes, you can easily pop a portion into the microwave and even add cold custard and heat for 1 ½ to 2 minutes depending you’re your microwaves wattage.

I’ve always loved rhubarb but I don’t think I’ve ever made a rhubarb pudding. Looks like I’d be able to veganise this quite easily as well! Thanks for including a link to my recipe.
Camilla
Yes Many you could very easily veganise this with some vegan margarine and soya milk:-)
