How to make

  1. STEP 1

    Heat oven to 350°F.

    Combine all filling ingredients except rhubarb in bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until smooth. Stir in rhubarb.

    Increase oven temperature to 400°F.

  6. STEP 6

    Beat egg whites in bowl at low speed until foamy. Add vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Increase speed to high; beat, gradually adding 3/4 cup sugar, until glossy and stiff peaks form.

  7. STEP 7

    Spread meringue over hot filling, sealing to edge. Continue baking 9-11 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned. Cool completely. Store any leftovers in refrigerator.
