STRAWBERRY RHUBARB CRISP
Steps:

Tips:
- When choosing rhubarb, select stalks that are firm and brightly colored. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
- To prepare the rhubarb, wash it thoroughly and cut it into 1-inch pieces. You can also peel the rhubarb if desired.
- For the strawberry filling, use fresh, ripe strawberries. Hull the strawberries and slice them thinly.
- To make the cream cheese filling, use a high-quality cream cheese. Soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- For the crust, use a pre-made pie crust or make your own. If you are using a pre-made pie crust, thaw it according to the package directions.
- When baking the bars, keep an eye on them so that they do not overcook. The bars are done baking when the crust is golden brown and the filling is set.
