Rhubarb Meringue Dessert

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 65 min. + chilling YIELD: 12-15 servings.
I hear so many nice comments when I serve this special springtime dessert. I make it often when our abundant rhubarb is in its prime. It's just as homey as a rhubarb custard pie, but it easily serves a large group. —Jessica Moch Bismarck, North Dakota
