This is so yummy. For the syrup, I used 1/2 cup of splenda and 1/2 cup sugar. I really like how easy this recipe was. And the taste is wonderful. Thanks BarbryT :) Made for PRMR.

Very good! I made these in ramekins only b/c I had 2 cups of rhubarb instead of 4 so I split the recipe in half and divided everything between 3 ramekins. It did overrun the top (fortunately I had put a cookie sheet under them). I baked for 35 minutes. I used half the white sugar for the syrup mixture as we prefer the tartness of rhubarb coming through. Thanks BarbryT for sharing. Made for PRMR.

This is a great dessert! We love rhubarb and this recipe is just wonderful. So very easy and just the right amount of sugar to the rhubarb. I love the bottom crust, too! Thanks for sharing.
