I created these easy Keto Strawberry rhubarb custard bars by incorporating my British heritage and gluten-free, sugar-free diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the best rhubarb recipes start with your imagination, as you can make any fruit look and taste delicious with creamy custard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make these a couple of days in advance for optimal flavour and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, no one likes to rush around the night before or the day of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keto Dessert Recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Everyone who eats a sugar-free, gluten-free, low-carb, keto diet knows that having sweets occasionally is somewhat desired, just like everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The significant part is that you can create many delicious low-carb recipes with nuts and coconut, from cookies and loaf bread to pretzels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuts are the perfect substitution for flour which is a gluten nightmare.<\/p>\n\n\n

Growing Rhubarb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With organic rhubarb growing in our back garden and a trip to the strawberry patch, we had enough fruit to start baking and froze two full freezer bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We made sugar-free<\/strong> strawberry chia jam<\/a>,<\/strong> lovely strawberry rhubarb custard bars, and copycat Starbucks strawberry acai pink drinks<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Custard Is A British Dream Dessert<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coming from the UK, I swear custard was a part of our daily diet, which Mrs. CBB noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, there are many custard desserts in the UK, so my parents love Boston Cream donuts from Tim Hortons when they visit Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mum and dad love custard, and even when we returned to the UK last year, she had at least a dozen custard cups prepared in the refrigerator at any given time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s just a British thing, I guess.<\/p>\n\n\n

A significant part of the tradition is being able to blend flavors and textures to come up with new ideas, which is what we did with this recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base of these strawberry rhubarb bars is similar to that of the sugar-free caramel cheesecake we make, as we tend to keep things simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wanted to ensure that we had enough eggs and cream to create a thick filling but added in some (we use this>>> xanthan gum<\/a> which is a thickening agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding unsweetened almond milk instead of standard whipping cream offers light almond notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you prefer a tart custard square, add less strawberry and more rhubarb or the other way around, depending on preference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took the balanced approach as we both like each fruit and think the flavors pair well, especially with the notes of almond extract in the crust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topping is whipped cream cheese that is fluffy and airy, followed by slices of strawberries on top when served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keto Rhubarb Custard Bars Serving Suggestions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Serving these strawberry rhubarb custard bars cold is a must for the ultimate experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may find after a couple of days chilling in the refrigerator that they taste even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This tends to happen with just about every keto dessert we create, and we believe it has something to do with letting the flavors set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same goes for cookies and puddings, but you can eat these strawberry rhubarb custard bars as soon as they are chilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
