A tangy and creamy rhubarb cheesecake with a buttery crust, topped with a sweet rhubarb mixture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup white sugar
- ½ cup butter
- 3 cups chopped rhubarb
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup of flour, ¼ cup of white sugar, and ½ cup of butter. Mix until the dough is crumbly. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and set aside.
- In a saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, ½ cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon flour. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the rhubarb is soft and the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, ½ cup white sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition.
- Stir in the sour cream and 2 tablespoons of sugar until well combined.
- Pour the cream cheese filling over the baked crust in the springform pan.
- Spoon the rhubarb mixture evenly over the top of the cheesecake filling.
- Bake the cheesecake at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and lightly golden.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for about an hour. Then, remove from the oven and allow to cool completely at room temperature.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
- Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to let the cheesecake cool completely before refrigerating to prevent condensation from forming on the top.
- For a smoother texture, allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature before mixing.
- Rhubarb topping can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge until ready to assemble.
- This cheesecake can be topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit for added flavor.
