  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped rhubarb, sugar, and vanilla bean paste. Mix well and set aside to allow the rhubarb to release some juice.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, mix the softened butter with the flour and baking powder until crumbly. Reserve half of this mixture for the topping.
  4. Step 4: Press the remaining mixture into the bottom of the greased baking dish to form a crust. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Step 5: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and egg together until smooth. Spread this mixture over the baked crust, then layer the rhubarb mixture on top.
  6. Step 6: Finally, sprinkle the reserved crumbly topping over the rhubarb layer and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until set and golden brown. Let cool before cutting into bars.

Notes

  • For best results, store your Rhubarb Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they can last up to a week while maintaining their delicious flavor and texture.
  • If you want to enjoy your bars warm, simply reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or pop them in the microwave for 15-20 seconds until just warmed through.
  • Serve these delightful bars with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for an extra indulgent treat that complements the tartness of the rhubarb beautifully.
  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the crumb topping; it pairs wonderfully with the rhubarb and adds an aromatic touch to each bite.
