This is wonderful! If you are a fan of rhubarb deserts and are looking for a unique twist, this is it. It has sweet and sour going on in the same bite. It is easy to make low fat by substituting light cream cheese and sour cream. Great looking too!

Categories     Cheesecake

Time 1h15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
3 cups chopped rhubarb
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese (you may use light cream cheese)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream (I use lowfat)
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 cup butter. Mix until crumbly and pat into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan.
  • Place foil or another pan under this to bake.
  • In a medium bowl, toss together the chopped rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 tablespoon flour. Pour onto crust. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Pour over hot rhubarb in the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until filling is set. Cover with sour cream topping while still hot.
  • To make the sour cream topping: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix well and spread on top of cake.
  • Chill cheesecake for at least 4 hours before serving. It is better after 24 hours.
  • I have heard from others that they add chopped pecans to the crust and sprinkled on top when cooled.
