I was asked for the recipe for  

something I posted yesterday...

So, here it is! 8-)

This is a very refreshing dessert on a 

hot summer's day, especially nice 

after a BBQ'd meal! 8-) 

* Read through recipe before starting...

First:

1/2 c.  water

   2 T.  sugar

   1 T.  cornstarch

Bring to a boil in microwave safe bowl in microwave, or do stove-top. 

*** Set aside to cool for the meringue later...

Crust:

  1 c.  margarine, softened some

  2     egg yolks

1/2 t.  vanilla

  3 T.  sugar

  2 c.  flour

Mix ingredients together well and pat into 

a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Filling:

     2 T.  butter or margarine, softened

     4     egg yolks

1+1/2 c.  sugar

     4 T.  flour

      1     small tin Carnation Milk 

(or 1/2 of larger tin)

4 to 5 c. rhubarb, cut up 

Whisk first 5 ingredients of filling together well, then toss in rhubarb, stir to coat. Pour filling over crust. Bake at 350*F for 45 minutes.

Meringue: 

6      egg whites

While torte is baking, beat together Meringue ingredients until stiff. 

*** Now fold in the cooled cornstarch mixture that you started with. 

Pour meringue over torte right after baking, and gently spread to cover; return to oven to brown under broiler. (watch it, as it doesn't take long to burn it)

Once counter cooled, cover and refrigerate till time to enjoy...

This can be made the day before a BBQ dinner.

 You will be asked for the recipe, believe me!

Enjoy! 8-)
