This is a truly wonderful way to enjoy rhubarb. I doubled the amount of sugar in the cooked rhubarb and that was as tart as I could tolerate. I'll probably add more next time. I made the custard using fat free half and half and it was soooo good with the rhubarb. When it looked like we were going to run short of the custard I folded the remaining custard into some fat free whipped topping and that was great as well. Of course, if you can handle the calories, go for the best ingredients, as written.
