Ingredients

1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup water
6 cups sliced fresh or frozen rhubarb
CRUST:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts, toasted
1 cup cold butter, cubed
TOPPING:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
1-1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix
1-2/3 cups cold milk
1/2 cup chopped nuts, toasted, optional

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine sugar and cornstarch; stir in water until smooth. Add rhubarb; cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Cool.
Meanwhile, for crust, combine the flour, sugar and nuts in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack.
Pour cooled filling over crust. In a bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form; fold in marshmallows. Spread over filling. In a bowl, whisk pudding mix and milk for 2 minutes; let stand for 5 minutes or until soft-set. Spread over marshmallow topping. If desired, sprinkle with nuts. Cover and chill for several hours.

This rhubarb dessert is amazing! I have made this every single year, it is a highly requested recipe. My recipe uses graham wafer crumbs for the base, but either way it's terrific!
