Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Heat butter in a pan and cook rhubarb, sugar, vanilla seeds, and ginger for 5 minutes until soft.

Transfer the mixture into a small ovenproof dish.

Pulse flour and butter in a blender to breadcrumbs, stir in sugar, and sprinkle over rhubarb.

Bake the crumble for 10-12 minutes until the topping turns golden.

Whisk egg yolks, sugar, and arrowroot in a bowl until pale.

Heat milk to just below boiling point.

Whisk hot milk into the egg mixture and return to the pan over low heat until thickened.

Serve the warm crumble topped with fresh custard.
