Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs Can substitute with cookie crust or gluten-free alternative.
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted
For the filling
  • 2 cups cream cheese, softened to room temperature Ensure it's at room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • 1 cups sugar For the filling.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs Add one at a time.
For the rhubarb topping
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped Fresh rhubarb preferred but frozen works too.
  • 0.5 cups sugar For the rhubarb topping.
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined, then press the mixture into the bottom of a pie dish to form the crust.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until everything is well incorporated.
  4. Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared crust.
  5. In another bowl, toss the chopped rhubarb with the sugar and cornstarch, ensuring the rhubarb is well coated. Spread this mixture evenly over the cheesecake filling.
Baking and Cooling
  1. Place the pie in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
  2. Allow the pie to cool at room temperature before refrigerating it for at least 4 hours (or ideally overnight) to let the flavors fully develop.

Notes

Top with powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream. Storing properly is key; cover leftovers and store in fridge for 3-4 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
