Sour cream strawberry rhubarb pie, sweet, and tart comes together to make this delicious dessert.ย  The filling is a custardy cream filling made with strawberries and rhubarb that is topped with a buttery crumb topping.ย

Rhubarb has always been a family favorite from when I was a kid until now. I remember as a kid as soon as the rhubarb was big enough my mom would be baking rhubarb desserts for my dad. His favorite rhubarb dessert was rhis rhubarb cake.

I always love a pie with a good crumb topping. For one thing, it is so much easier to make the crumb topping and put it on top of a pie than to roll out a second crust and try to fit it on the pie. This recipe is piled high with the crumb topping, as I always say you can’t have too much crumb topping when it comes to desserts. Also, I want to mention the sour cream. The sour cream adds so much to this pie. With the sour cream, it makes this lovely custard-type filling. It is so good.

This recipe has become one of the first pies that I make when the rhubarb is ready in the spring. I like to carry on the family traditions.

Helpful tips:

  • I like to peel the rhubarb. No, it is not necessary to do so, but if you take off the skin it will take care of the strings.
  • I like to cut the strawberries and rhubarb into small pieces. If you prefer you can cut them into a little larger slices.
  • When making the crumb topping have your butter at room temperature. It will be easier to work it into the flour and sugar.
  • I do like making my own pie crust, but a store-bought pie crust will work fine and it will save you time.
  • Make sure to store this pie in the refrigerator.
  • The pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.
  • I have never tried freezing this pie, but I would not recommend it.

Steps for making Sour Cream Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

    The creaminess of the sour cream against the tart rhubarb sounds so good! What a great pie!

    I’m not a big fan of rhubarb but that looks yummy…and I love strawberries enough to potentially offset my dislike for rhubarb!

    I have to admit that I’ve never used rhubarb. I do want to try it, and a recipe with strawberries too seems like a great place to start.

    Iโ€™m not seeing the amount of sour cream used. I used 3/4 cup in a Sour Cream Blueberry Pie. Would the same amount work here?

    Mmmm, pie! And rhubarb makes since a nice one. I’m fond of crumb toppings not only because they are easier, but also because I think they taste better. This looks great — thanks.
