For a richer flavor, consider using melted butter instead of shortening in the crust. If your rhubarb is particularly tart, you may want to increase the amount of sugar in the custard slightly. Feel free to experiment with different spices in the topping, such as nutmeg or ginger. To prevent the crust from getting too brown, you can tent the torte with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
