Tips:
- Use fresh rhubarb. Fresh rhubarb has a tart flavor that pairs perfectly with the other ingredients in these bars. If you can't find fresh rhubarb, you can use frozen rhubarb, but be sure to thaw it and drain it well before using.
- Don't overcook the rhubarb. Overcooked rhubarb will be mushy and lose its tart flavor. Cook the rhubarb just until it is tender, about 5 minutes.
- Use a good quality cream cheese. The cream cheese is a key ingredient in these bars, so it's important to use a good quality cream cheese that is smooth and creamy.
- Chill the bars before serving. Chilling the bars will help them set and make them easier to cut.
Conclusion:
These very berry rhubarb bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The tart rhubarb and sweet berries are perfectly complemented by the creamy cheesecake filling and buttery crust. These bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
