This Rhubarb Cheesecake combines a buttery crust, a creamy cheesecake filling, and a sweet-tart rhubarb topping. It’s a perfect dessert for spring and summer!
Ingredients
- For the crust: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup white sugar 1/2 cup butter
- For the rhubarb topping: 3 cups chopped rhubarb 1/2 cup white sugar 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- For the cheesecake filling: 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese 1/2 cup white sugar 2 large eggs 1 cup sour cream 2 tablespoons white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan or line with parchment paper. - Prepare the crust:
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, ¼ cup sugar, and ½ cup butter. Mix until it forms a dough. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. - Prepare the rhubarb topping:
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, ½ cup sugar, and 1 tablespoon of flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the rhubarb breaks down and becomes syrupy. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. - Make the cheesecake filling:
In a large bowl, beat together the cream cheese and ½ cup sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream, 2 tablespoons sugar, and vanilla extract until fully combined. - Assemble the cheesecake:
Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust. Spread it evenly. Top with the rhubarb mixture and swirl it into the cheesecake using a knife or skewer. - Bake:
Bake the cheesecake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and slightly firm. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour. - Chill:
Remove the cheesecake from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set. - Serve:
Once chilled, remove from the springform pan, slice, and serve. Enjoy!
