Rhubarb Crisp For Two is made with fresh rhubarb, sugar, flour, and a touch of cinnamon, and is topped with an oatmeal crumble. This recipe makes enough for two servings and is made in ramekins or custard cups.
Fruit crisp is one of our favorite desserts, but sometimes it is too much to make a big pan of this dessert. This recipe makes enough for two servings and is perfect when there are just two of you.
The crisp is so simple to make and is done in no time at all. I love the little bit of tartness that the rhubarb gives it. The crumble is the perfect sweet crunchy topping that completes this dessert.
Helpful Tips:
- I like to remove the skin on the rhubarb, this is just a personal thing. If you prefer to leave the skin on the rhubarb that will work.
- Cut the pieces of the rhubarb about the same size, this way when it bakes it will bake evenly.
- I like to cut my pieces about 1/2 inch, if you like a little bigger pieces, you can cut the pieces 1 inch long. Just remember if the pieces are a little larger the baking time may be a little longer.
- When baking the crisp, make sure to place the ramekins/custard cups on a sturdy baking dish.
- You will know that the crisp is done when the filling is bubbling and the crumble is golden brown.
- The dessert can be served warm or if you like you can serve it warm. My favorite is to cool it slightly and serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- If not served right away, the dessert should be stored in the refrigerator.

We too love crisp, crumble or streusel…these look just irresistible!
Love crisp, and really love the idea of making a recipe that serves two. Too much temptation with all those leftovers! 🙂 Love rhubarb, and this looks great — thanks.
What size is the custard cup? I’m thinking maybe 10 ounce.
Yes, that is a 10 ounce custard cup. I hope you make this and enjoy it.
One of the best rhubarb crisps I’ve ever made, and I’ve made plenty. I used my air fryer; bake mode, added a few extra minutes and it was so delicious. Do not skip using the pecans as I feel that’s what sets this apart from others. Thanks for this winner.
Hi CJ, I am so happy that you liked the rhubarb crisp. Pecan always makes thing taste better!
Fresh strawberry rhubarb chrisp for 2. Mine is reduced sugar, add strawberries & double the recipe. We’re both diabetic so we reduce sugar and portion sizes
Hi Poppie, Strawberries and rhubarb is a great combination.
I don’t have custard cups. What else could I make this in?
Hi Linda, I have only made them in custard cups. I did a little research and I think these might work in muffin tins if you have them. Ramekins for sure would work if you have some of them. Gook luck! I hope you make this and enjoy as much as my hubby and I do.
