Notes

Topping color: if you desire a brighter color you can use a drop or two of red food coloring or add red fruit when cooking your topping such as raspberry or strawberry to brighten. Rhubarb stalks do have variations of colors and some are not as red inside.

To make an even fancier dessert you can make your own graham cracker crust and use a springform pan. For the crust:1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or butter, 2 tbsp sugar. Preheat oven to 350, combine ingredients, press mixture into 9" springform pan, bake for 10 minutes, set aside to cool before filling.

You could also use this as a base recipe and change the flavor profile and use plain or change the fruit topping.
