rhubarb and custard

British pudding classic

Rhubarb and custard is a classic British dessert pairing tart stewed rhubarb with sweet vanilla custard.

The combination extends to hard candies with the same two-tone flavor profile—typically pink and yellow sweets.

The phrase sometimes describes color schemes echoing those hues: a rhubarb and custard sunset.
