Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Cut in the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
Spread the 4 cups of chopped rhubarb evenly over the partially baked crust.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 3 eggs until well beaten. Gradually whisk in 1.5 cups of granulated sugar and 0.25 cups of all-purpose flour until smooth and combined.
Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the custard mixture is fully incorporated.
Pour the custard mixture evenly over the rhubarb layer.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the custard is set and the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the dessert to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 1 hour to fully set before serving.
Slice into squares or rectangles and serve chilled. Enjoy your creamy, tangy, and sweet rhubarb custard dessert!
