Report
This super rustic dessert with hand folded edges is foolproof. It’s simple; it’s sexy, and absolutely delicious -- especially served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Instructions
- Combine the cut rhubarb and strawberries with the sugar and vanilla. Allow to sit for 1 hour.
- In a bowl, combine all the dry ingredients. Add the shortening and combine until you have the consistency of small crumbs.
- Slowly drizzle water by the tablespoon until the dough holds together enough to form a ball. If too dry, add the remaining water, and combine until the dough comes together.
- Place dough on a lightly floured parchment sheet, roll out the pastry to a 12 to 14-inch circle and transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Decoratively arrange the rhubarb and strawberry slices on top leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the pastry edge up and over the filling.
- Brush egg wash onto crust and sprinkle raw sugar over dough and filling.
- Bake crostata for 40 to 45 minutes, until the pastry is nicely browned and crisp, and all of the fruit is tender.
Notes
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.
- If rhubarb isn't in season, check your freezer aisle. Oftentimes you can find rhubarb with the frozen fruit! If not, feel free to swap in more strawberries, or use a mix of your favorite berries or fruit instead.
