Delicious cream cheese bars with a tangy rhubarb twist, perfect for an afternoon treat or light dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rhubarb, chopped
  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and set aside.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese with the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and homogenous.
  3. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined in another bowl.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the cream cheese mixture, stirring just until combined.
  5. Stir in the melted butter until the batter becomes glossy.
  6. Fold in the chopped rhubarb gently to distribute it.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack. Chill in the fridge if desired.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving if you like.

Notes

For best results, ensure cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature. Use fresh vanilla extract for optimal flavor.
