- Bake crust and crumbs in a 350F oven for 7 minutes or until crumbs are golden brown; remove crumbs.
- Bake crust for 8 minutes longer or until golden brown. Remove to rack and let cool to room temperature, 25-30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat egg whites on high speed until soft peaks form; gradually beat in sugar, a spoonful at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Stir in rhubarb.
- Stir in food coloring by drops to desired color. Pour over crust; sprinkle with reserved crumbs. Freeze for 8 hours or over night. (If frozen solid, remove from freezer a few minutes before serving). Run a knife dipped in hot water around the edge and remove springform ring; cut into serving pieces and garnish with mint if desired.
