Creamy Rhubarb Cream Cheese Bars

A delightful dessert featuring a tangy rhubarb layer atop a creamy cheesecake filling and a buttery crust.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rhubarb, diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, mix flour and 1/2 cup sugar. Cut in butter until crumbly. Press into the bottom of the prepared dish. Bake for 15 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over the baked crust.
  4. In a saucepan, combine rhubarb, 1/4 cup sugar, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Spread over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set. Cool completely before cutting into bars.
