  • 2 cups Fresh Rhubarb (Chopped)
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 cup Water
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Mixed with a little water to create a slurry

Crust

  • 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs Or crushed digestive biscuits
  • 1/2 cup Butter (melted) Use real butter for best flavor

Cream Cheese Layer

  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese (Softened)
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 cup Whipped Topping Homemade works best
  • 1 package Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 1 cup Milk (Whole milk preferred)

Garnish

  • to taste Fresh Strawberries Sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare Rhubarb Filling

  • In a saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, granulated sugar, and water. Cook over medium heat until the rhubarb softens, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally and allow the mixture to bubble gently.
  • Once softened, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Add to the rhubarb mixture, stirring constantly until thickened and glossy. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.

Prepare Crust

  • In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened.
  • Press half of the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish to form a firm crust.

Prepare Cream Cheese Layer

  • In a separate mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping gently to keep it light and airy.
  • Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the crust, followed by half of the cooled rhubarb mixture. Repeat with the remaining cream cheese mixture and top with the rest of the rhubarb.
  • Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumbs on top.

Chill and Serve

  • Chill dessert in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh mint leaves and sliced strawberries before serving.

Notes

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Can be made a day ahead for best flavor development.
