This Rhubarb Delight is one of those old-fashioned desserts that never goes out of style—and trust me, it disappears fast. Passed down from my Grandma Eunice, this recipe is pure comfort in a pan. Tart rhubarb gets perfectly sweetened with strawberry gelatin (yes, the classic kind!), then finished with a buttery, golden streusel topping that adds the best crunch. It’s sweet, tangy, nostalgic, and ridiculously easy to make. One bite and you’ll understand why everyone always asks for this recipe!

How To Make rhubarb delight

Step 1

1. Prepare the Base: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, softened butter, flour, baking powder, and eggs together until well combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan, forming a crust.

Step 2

2. Prepare the Rhubarb and Jello: Wash and slice the rhubarb into 1/2-inch pieces. Scatter the sliced rhubarb evenly over the crust, covering it completely. Sprinkle the dry strawberry Jello powder over the rhubarb.
Step 3

3. Make the Streusel Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the softened butter, granulated sugar, and flour for the streusel topping. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the rhubarb.
Step 4

4. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Step 5

5. Serve: Let it cool slightly, then serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra special treat!
